A mal mapping is in the root of the config file.
Below is a mal mapping example and the full set of attributes:

OAuth Flow using Docker
To authenticate MyAnimeList the first time, you need run the container with the -it flags in order to walk through the OAuth flow mentioned above. Once you have the MyAnimeList authentication data saved into the YAML, you'll be able to run the container normally.
OAuth Flow using unRAID Docker
Directions on how to authenticate MyAnimeList on unRAID can be found on the unRAID Walkthrough page.
