Description

I am requesting support for Mangadex. They do have a well documented REST API at https://api.mangadex.org. Please refer to this section for searching users, https://api.mangadex.org/docs.html#tag/User

URL: https://mangadex.org

From my testing, it looks like the /user/{id} is a randomly generated uuid. Attempted some testing below:

curl https://api.mangadex.org/user/fappyfap
{"result":"error","errors":[{"id":"524eb5f9-8408-5783-b4fc-5b176572e923","status":404,"title":"not_found_http_exception","detail":"No route found for \"GET https:\/\/api.mangadex.org\/user\/fappyfap\"","context":null}]}%                             

curl https://api.mangadex.org/user/61c439b0-8792-4c48-8035-fe6c39f52e79
{"result":"ok","response":"entity","data":{"id":"61c439b0-8792-4c48-8035-fe6c39f52e79","type":"user","attributes":{"username":"fappyfap","roles":["ROLE_UNVERIFIED"],"version":1},"relationships":[]}}%

I will let someone else 100% confirm, but it doesn't look like this site will be possible to add

https://api.mangadex.org/user/{id} is for getting a user using their id.

The right approach would be to search for the user using user list (see https://api.mangadex.org/docs.html#operation/get-user) and then search using the first id given in the response as https://api.mangadex.org/user/{id}

This requires authentication using a JWT token, which I am not familiar with. This might make things more complicated.

Maybe you can try using MangaDex.py's search() function to get the user's username and user id or a simple Selenium script can do the trick.

Since the ID is created randomly this will be difficult to implement. I might add it to Sherlock in the future once the rewrite is complete :)
