For a while now I've been debating the merits of making, for my personal use, a mangadex reader app for my aging, jailbroken third-gen Kindle. I'll like as not never finish it because I'm a terrible procrastinator and all that, but before I get into it I have a couple questions:
A.) It has generally been my impression that writing applications that make calls to Mangadex server endpoints, is broadly allowed and condoned. The stance on this hasn't changed anytime recently, has it? Are there any particular no-nos? (Aside from obvious things like not making a disproportionate number of requests)
B.) Is there documentation anywhere? Or should I just be trying other folks' scraped-together stuff (e.g. https://github.com/md-y/mangadex-full-api )? (Edit: At second glance that looks like it's maybe a wrapper with handlers for login and such. Which is it's own thing. I sort of get the impression that to web developers (which I distinctly am not) scraping the API from actual usage is maybe more straightforward here.)
