docsanimeList every anime

List every anime

Returns the full catalogue, so you can map anime to ids once instead of guessing titles on every request.

Endpoint:

/anime

Example:

const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/anime`, {
	headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' },
});
const { data, meta } = await response.json();
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "Attack on Titan",
      "altName": "Shingeki no Kyojin",
      "malId": 16498,
      "episodeCount": 25,
      "quoteCount": 34
    }
  ],
  "meta": { "total": 448, "page": 1, "pageSize": 100, "totalPages": 5 }
}

quoteCount is worth checking before you build against a series: a handful of anime are in the catalogue with no quotes yet.

Searching

Pass search to filter by title. It matches both name and altName, ignores case and punctuation, and returns every anime containing the term.

/anime?search=naruto

That returns Naruto and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, because browsing is about seeing your options. The quote endpoints behave differently on purpose: /quotes?anime=naruto narrows to the single best match, since there you want quotes rather than a list.

Pagination

100 anime per page. Use meta.totalPages to know when to stop.

/anime?page=2

malId is the MyAnimeList id, and is currently present on a minority of entries. Treat it as a bonus rather than a lookup key until coverage improves.

Errors

ConditionStatus
A search that matches nothing200 with an empty data array
Unknown query parameter400
page below 1, or not a number400

An empty result is deliberately not a 404. You asked what exists, and “nothing by that name” is a real answer.
