# MyAnimeList Anime Pictures API

The picture gallery for one anime, as a list of image links.

`GET /v1/myanimelist/anime/{id}/pictures` returns `data.pictures[]`, where each item has `url` and `alt`. The list is the gallery for the title, returned in one answer with no cursor.

The URLs point to the hosted images. They are links, not copies. An anime with no gallery, and an unknown anime id, both return `lookupStatus: not_found` for this sub-resource.

## FAQ

### Are these full-size images?

The `url` is the image link the gallery uses. MyAnimeList may serve a scaled variant, so check the URL when you need a specific size.

### Is the gallery paged?

No. The result has no `page` object. Use the array as the complete gallery for the title.

### How many credits does this request cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

### What is in `alt`?

It is the image alternative text, which can be null. Do not rely on it as the image title.
