# Anilist-ESP8266

A small Friday night project to use an ESP8266 to query Anilist GraphQL API and display profile data on a mini OLED.



  



## Purpose

I haven't touched any Arduino stuff in a couple years, so I figured I needed a fun refresher before tackling a different project. This small project was used to learn more about [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/) and HTTP requests on ESP8266.

I used the Anilist API for this because I've already used it in a couple other weekend projects and it is super easy to mess around with.

## Configuration

My small brain couldn't figure out loading secrets with [PlatformIO advanced scripting](https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/advanced_scripting.html#construction-environments), so I just setup a separate header file called **anilist8266_config.h**.

Its still plaintext credentials though...I think it works good enough for a messaround project.

```c

/* include/anilist8266_config.h */

#ifndef ANILIST8266_CONFIG_H

#define ANILIST8266_CONFIG_H

const char *_ANILIST_USER = "user";

const char *_WIFI_SSID = "SSID";

const char *_WIFI_PWD  = "PASSWORD"; 

#endif

```
