+title: "Getting an anime's information"
+description: "Specify an anime's ID to get all the data about it."
+weight: 3
+---
+
+`GetAnimeById` takes in an anime's ID (which can be obtained using [`SearchAnime`](/docs/mal2go/v4/anime/search-for-an-anime) or through the URL of the anime's page on MAL) and returns information about it. This method takes these arguments:
+
+- `id int` The anime's ID
+- `fields []string` The fields to include in the response. [Here](/docs/mal2go/v4/anime/types#mal2goanimeanime) is a list of the valid fields. Just using an empty slice (`[]string{}`) will include all the fields.
+
+Example:
+
+``` go
+package main
+
+import (
+ "github.com/MikunoNaka/MAL2Go/v4/anime"
+ "log"
+ "fmt"
+)
+
+func main() {
+ authToken := "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
+ myClient := anime.Client {
+ AuthToken: "Bearer " + authToken,
+ }
+
+ id := 457
+ fields := []string{"title", "my_list_status", "num_episodes"}
+
+ anime, err := myClient.GetAnimeById(id, fields)
+ if err != nil {
+ log.Fatal(err) // remember kids, always handle errors
+ }
+
+ fmt.Printf("You have watched %d out of %d episodes in %s. Your list status for %s is %s.\n", anime.MyListStatus.EpWatched, anime.NumEpisodes, anime.Title, anime.Title, anime.MyListStatus.Status)
+}
+```
+
+Above example prints something like
+`"You have watched 26 out of 26 episodes in Mushishi. Your list status for Mushishi is completed."`
