Sync guide — full walkthrough
Two-phase model end-to-end — Phase 1 sequential pull, Phase 2
/sync/activities + date_from delta loop, deletion reconciliation, when to actually run sync, useful query params, and a Node + Python reference implementation.Common request parameters
Every Sync endpoint shares the same auth + identification surface. See Headers and required parameters for the full reference.Supported ID keys
Every Sync write endpoint matches items by theids object. See the full key list (with types and examples) in Standard media objects → Supported ID keys.
Anime works under either
shows[] or anime[]. All Sync write endpoints accept movies[], shows[], anime[], and episodes[] as top-level arrays. Anime entries are resolved by ids regardless of which wrapper you use — match the field to your data type when known, fall back to shows[] when you only have TMDB / TVDB IDs. Caveat: not_found.shows carries any unresolved anime entries too (no separate not_found.anime bucket). See Anime in shows[] or anime[].Endpoints
