Use Anilist API to get an AniList entry from a MAL id

anilist_api_example.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import requests

query = '''query($id: Int, $type: MediaType){Media(idMal: $id, type: $type){siteUrl}}'''

variables = {
    'id': 30831,
    'type': "ANIME"
}

url = 'https://graphql.anilist.co'

response = requests.post(url, json={'query': query, 'variables': variables})

print(response.json())
                                                                                                                       

<?php
$query = 'query($id: Int, $type: MediaType){Media(idMal: $id, type: $type){siteUrl}}';
$data_string = json_encode(['query' => $query, 'variables' => ['id' => 38397, 'type' => 'ANIME']]);
$ch = curl_init('https://graphql.anilist.co');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt(
    $ch,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
    array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: '.strlen($data_string),
    )
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

var_dump($result);

The plain php version (I'll make this into a package soon)
