Following this is optional but might make your life easier! - -## Better ways to store/read auth tokens: - -- Use [godotenv](https://github.com/joho/godotenv) to read the auth token from a config file -- [Viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) can do the same thing, but can also write to the file easily; also with viper you can locate the file anywhere on your system -- [go-keyring](https://github.com/zalando/go-keyring) can be used to read/write the secret token to the system's keyring. It is by far the most secure way but only works on some systems (windows, macos and linux with gnome-keyring) - -## SearchManga and SearchAnime functions are quirky! - -While you *can* specify fields to these functions, in order to get specific data, searching for some reason only returns limited fields most of the times. -It's not like it just doesn't support all of the fields but many times it just.. doesn't. So if you want to search *and* get ALL fields about an anime, or just -be sure that the data is complete, use [`SearchAnime`](/docs/mal2go/v4/anime/search-for-an-anime/)/[`SearchManga`](/docs/mal2go/v4/manga/search-for-a-manga/) -just to get the ID.
