How to use the anime package:

1. Install the anime package using this command

``` fish
go get github.com/MikunoNaka/MAL2Go/v4/anime
```

2. Import and initialise the anime client. The client holds the authentication token of the user. The OAuth token should be set as "Bearer TOKEN". Refer to below example

``` go
package main

import (
  "github.com/MikunoNaka/MAL2Go/v4/anime"
)
    
func main() {
  // you should never hard-code tokens. This is just an example
  authToken := "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
  myClient := anime.Client {
    AuthToken: "Bearer " + authToken,
  }
}
```
    
Every program using MAL2Go needs something like this to initialise everything (that you need).
And now we are ready to use the MAL2Go/anime package!
