  anilist api with multiple episodes on same release date?

    It’s going to have to be something like that. The API can be inconsistent in how batch releases are handled. Most often in the past, it would just list the first episode with a release time and just not have one for subsequent episodes. This is the easiest for me to handle because I am just adding on additional episodes as needed manually. Lately, the API has started listing all the episodes with sequential airing times, meaning rikka makes a new post for each one.

    So, if that is how the API is going to handle them going forward, I think I am going to have to build some kind of logic to merge episode threads that are within 24 hours or something like that.

      I was particularly thinking about:

      airingSchedule {
            nodes {
              episode
              airingAt
              timeUntilAiring
            }
          }

        Here’s the query I make to help build rikka’s table of upcoming episodes. So, the info is there, I just need to add some logic to consolidate episodes close together in time.
