MyAnimeList Anime Reviews API

Q: How do I exclude spoilers?

Spoilers are excluded by default. Send `includeSpoilers=on` only when you want them. The same on/off spelling works for `includePreliminary`.

Q: What do the reaction counts mean?

They are the six reaction buttons plus the readable count: `nice`, `loveIt`, `funny`, `confusing`, `informative`, `wellWritten` and `creative`. A count is null when it is unavailable.

Q: Can I get every review for a title?

Yes, keep following `page.nextCursor` while `page.hasMore` is true. A cursor belongs to its sort and filters, so changing `sort`, `includeSpoilers` or `includePreliminary` means starting again without a cursor.

Reviews with ratings, reactions and full text, 20 per page, with spoiler and preliminary filters.

Query the list with sort=suggested|newest|mostvoted, includeSpoilers=on, includePreliminary=on and cursor. Each page holds 20 reviews. A title with no reviews, or with none matching the selected filters, returns lookupStatus: found with an empty array.
