API Limitations for MyAnimeList

I am currently developing a C # API that connects to MAL to develop client applications.

My problem is that I am currently using the REST API MAL registered on this page: http://myanimelist.net/modules.php?go=api#animevalues

Everything works fine there, but my problem is that only with those services I can’t request a list of anime users or a list of manga. Not at their expense, nor for progression, nor for their anime / manga.

My question is that I am wrong, and this information can be obtained using this API?

I know that I can access a custom animal artist (or mangalist), for example: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/ and parse the contents to get the information. But I was wondering if I can get this information with the REST API, which is more reliable (not as weak for changes on the page as html analysis).

thanks

It seems strange that the API does not seem to have this feature, but I also could not find any information about it.

However, you can use the following URL:

http://myanimelist.net/malappinfo.php?u=<username>

In addition to the username, it accepts a type parameter to request an anime or manga list. Apparently there is also a status parameter, but I don't know how this works.

I also found this thread on the topic.
