How it works

  1. Run the /set command with your platform and username
  2. Yato saves your account link to its database
  3. Now you can use /al or /mal without parameters to view your own stats
  4. Other users can look up your stats using /al user:@you or /mal user:@you
You can link both AniList and MyAnimeList accounts separately. Run the command once for each platform.
The command response is ephemeral (only visible to you) to protect your privacy.

Best practices

To use /al and /mal commands without specifying usernames:
  1. Use the /set command to link your AniList/MyAnimeList accounts (see “Link your account” section above)
  2. Once linked, simply use /al or /mal to view your stats
  3. Other users can then look up your stats using /al user:@you
These commands query external APIs that have rate limits:
  • Wait for the cooldown to expire before using the command again
  • Excessive requests may cause temporary API bans
  • The bot will notify you when you’re being rate limited
For the /anime and /manga commands:
  • Use the official English or Japanese title for best results
  • If you don’t find what you’re looking for, try alternative titles
  • Use the pagination buttons within 60 seconds before they expire

​
Troubleshooting

Common issues:
  • “Nothing found”: Check spelling or try alternative titles
  • Rate limiting: Wait the specified cooldown period
  • API unavailable: External service might be down, try again later
  • Account not linked: Use the set command to link your profile
For persistent issues, join the Yato Support Server.
