MyAnimeList API: common questions

What can I get from the MyAnimeList API?

Anime and manga titles, cast and staff, status counts and score histograms, reviews, recommendations, episodes, pictures, videos, characters, people, companies, search, autocomplete, ranked lists, seasons, genre lists, news and featured articles, and public member profiles, lists, activity and reviews.

How do I find a title id?

Use the search route with a query and a kind: GET /v1/myanimelist/search?query=cowboy%20bebop&kind=anime. Results carry id, title, url and type. The same id works on every title route, for example /anime/1, /anime/1/characters and /anime/1/reviews.

What does lookupStatus mean?

found means the entity exists and is in the response. not_found means a deleted title, an unknown character id or a user that does not exist. HTTP 200 only means the request finished, so branch on data.lookupStatus.

Does an empty list mean not found?

No. A title can have no characters, no reviews or no recommendations and still be found, so those routes return lookupStatus: found with an empty array. A search with no matches behaves the same way. not_found is for a missing title, character, person, company, user, club, stack, article or episode, including a missing user on a list route.

How does paging work?

List routes return a page object with hasMore and nextCursor. Send cursor=<page.nextCursor> to get the next page. Review, episode, video, search, ranking, genre, news and user-list routes all page this way. A cursor is tied to its filters, so changing a filter means starting again without a cursor.

How much does a request cost?

One credit per completed request, and each page of a list is billed separately. meta.creditsCharged on the response is the billing source of truth. New accounts start with 100 free credits.

What is not in the statistics response?

The statistics route returns aggregate status counts in data.counts and the score histogram in data.scores. It does not return the recently updated member table, because that table is member activity data rather than title statistics.

Can I get a private or hidden list?

No. The member routes return public profiles and public lists only. A private list or a hidden profile is not available, and a name that does not resolve returns lookupStatus: not_found.

Which anime images and links do I get?

Title, character, person and picture routes return image URLs in fields such as imageUrl and pictures[].url. These are links to the images, not copies. Streaming availability is returned as platform name, kind and availability only. Availability reflects one region and can differ from what a visitor sees.

Can I use these routes from agents or MCP?

Yes. Every MyAnimeList route is a typed MCP tool and is reachable through Ask (POST /v1/ask) in plain English. Use the typed routes for production jobs.

The MyAnimeList API in detailHow the MyAnimeList routes work, what they cost, and how they differ from the official API.

Why teams use Social Fetch for MyAnimeList

Social Fetch exposes 36 routes under /v1/myanimelist. Title routes take a numeric id: GET /v1/myanimelist/anime/1 for Cowboy Bebop or GET /v1/myanimelist/manga/2 for Berserk. They return the information rows, statistics, synopsis, external links, related titles and the preview lists in one data.title object.

Around a title, separate routes return the complete cast and staff with voice actors and languages (data.characters, data.staff), status counts and the 1 to 10 score histogram (data.counts, data.scores), reviews with reaction counts and full text (data.reviews), every recommendation and its text (data.recommendations), episodes with air dates and filler or recap marks (data.episodes), pictures and videos.

Discovery routes cover search across anime, manga, characters and people, autocomplete across 11 categories, ranked lists, whole seasons, the season archive, genre, theme and demographic title lists, and the news and featured article lists. Character, person and company routes return profiles with appearances and filmographies. Public member routes return a profile, an anime or manga list, list activity and written reviews. Every response uses the { data, meta } envelope. HTTP 200 means the request finished, so branch on data.lookupStatus: found or not_found. Lists page with an opaque page.nextCursor and bill each page separately.

How to call the MyAnimeList API

  1. 1. Create an API key

    Sign up at Social Fetch and copy a key (sfk_...). New accounts get 100 free credits, enough to try every route on a few titles.

  2. 2. Pick the route and the id

    Start with a title: GET /v1/myanimelist/anime/1 or GET /v1/myanimelist/manga/2. Use GET /v1/myanimelist/search?query=cowboy%20bebop&kind=anime when you only have a name. Send x-api-key on every request.

  3. 3. Page and branch

    Check data.lookupStatus before you store a row. For lists, follow page.nextCursor while page.hasMore is true. Bill from meta.creditsCharged.

What each MyAnimeList route returns

  • Anime and manga titles with titleEnglish, titleJapanese, alternativeTitles, genres, studios, authors, aired or published dates, score, rank, members and favorites.
  • Complete cast and staff with role, favorites, voiceActors[].language and staff position.
  • Status counts (watching, reading, completed, onHold, dropped, planned) and a 10-row score histogram.
  • Reviews with reviewer, postedAt, rating, seven reaction counts, tags and full text.
  • Search, autocomplete, rankings, seasons, genre lists and the news and featured article lists.
  • Public profiles with animeStats, mangaStats, favorites, recentUpdates and list entries with scores, tags and notes.

How much does the MyAnimeList API cost?

Each MyAnimeList route costs one credit per completed request, and each page of a list is its own request. There is no batch route. Credits never expire on pay-as-you-go packs, and meta.creditsCharged on every response is the billing source of truth.

Social Fetch vs the official MyAnimeList API

Every answer uses one shape: fixed field names, arrays for list data, a typed not_found outcome instead of an error, and cursors that keep working while the lists change. One key covers anime, manga, characters, people, companies, community topics and public member lists.
