Where can I get the data of mangaupdates? They don't dump their database and provide no api. The entire thing is a closed system and the site is egly as fuck. No clue who runs it as well
I tried to run a web scraper but they had put limits on their site so it won't work without further work and money.
Does anyone know of any other similar sources of data ?

limit means first 50 pages

mangaupdates is one big mystery, honestly, no one knows how it runs, who runs it and how it has escaped being shut down considering it's a critical piece of any manga reader, there's no way I can manage my 1500+ manga reading list without it.

We usually keep database dumps here:www.4chan.org/rules#global16

Has had better results lately, though.

Are they actually doing anything illegal at the present? You can say they did to when they linked to scanlation sites, but now they limit to namedropping the scanlators when they release new chapters.

Some people even insist on using>>>/global16/rules, even though it doesn't add much.

They seem to wait a bit for new chapters to filter out to archive sites first.
