title: "Update Anime"
description: "Update every field of an anime"
weight: 13
---

The `UpdateAnime` method combines all the other methods used to update any of the fields of an entry in the animelist.

**Warning: This method will overwrite every field of the specified anime.  
If you don't specify a field it'd be set back to the default option. 
Use it with caution at your own risk.**

- `id int` ID of the anime
- `updateData `[`UpdateAnimeData`](/docs/mal2go/v4/user/anime/types/#mal2gouseranimeupdateanimedata) 
A struct containing all the fields that need to be updated. **If a field is missing it will be set to the default option.**

Example:

``` go
package main

import (
  "github.com/MikunoNaka/MAL2Go/v4/user/anime"
  "log"
  "fmt"
)

func main() {
  authToken := "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
  myClient := anime.Client {
    AuthToken: "Bearer " + authToken,
  }
  
  updateData := anime.UpdateAnimeData {
    Status:         "watching",
    IsRewatching:   false, 
    Score:          10, 
    EpWatched:      20,
    Priority:       2,
    TimesRewatched: 0, 
    RewatchValue:   0,
    Tags:           "",
    Comments:       "",
  }

  res, err := myClient.UpdateAnime(47194, updateData)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
  
  fmt.Println(res)
}
```

This is useful if you want to update many things without making too many API calls.
You can get the previously set data with the `GetAnimeById` method, if a value needs to be
unchanged, just use the previously set value returned by GetAnimeById. This way, 
you can update multiple fields with only two API calls.

The [response](/docs/mal2go/v4/user/anime/types/#mal2gouseranimeupdateresponse) from the API can be used to show the information of the anime after being updated.
