Public API

A versioned, read-only JSON API over the audited 2026 snapshot. No endpoint contacts AniList, Jikan or an LLM at request time, so responses are fast and aggressively cacheable.

Response envelope

Every response wraps its payload with dataset metadata. List responses add a pagination object.

{
  "data": [ /* ... */ ],
  "meta": {
    "schemaVersion": "1.0",
    "datasetGeneratedAt": "2026-07-24T01:38:38.307402+00:00",
    "contentHash": "26333736521631c1"
  },
  "pagination": { "page": 1, "limit": 25, "totalItems": 60, "totalPages": 3 }
}

Caching

Data changes only when a new audited snapshot is deployed, so responses set:

Cache-Control: public, s-maxage=3600, stale-while-revalidate=86400
ETag: "26333736521631c1"

Example

curl "/api/v1/2026/titles?season=WINTER&protagonist=FEMALE_LED&sort=score&order=desc&limit=10"
