What is Animechan API and what anime data does it provide?

Animechan is an anime quotes and information API service that provides developers with access to a vast curated collection of anime content. Our API delivers episode counts, detailed show summaries, character information, and memorable quotes from thousands of anime series. You can easily filter and search quotes by specific anime titles or character names, making it perfect for anime-focused applications and websites.

Is the Animechan API free? What are the rate limits?

Yes. Every endpoint is free to use with no signup and no API key, limited to 5 requests per hour per IP address. Animechan Premium raises that limit to 1,000 requests per hour for $5/month.

How do I get an API key for higher rate limits?

Subscribe to Animechan Premium for $5/month on our Buy Me A Coffee page. Your personal API key is emailed to you as soon as the subscription starts, and it raises your limit to 1,000 requests per hour. Note that this is a recurring monthly subscription, not a one-time payment. See our pricing page for details, and the auth docs for how to send the key.
