MyAnimeList Character API FAQ

Why does a deleted character answer HTTP 200?

MyAnimeList returns an invalid-id message for a deleted character id. The route reports lookupStatus: not_found with character: null instead of an error.

What is in `attributes`?

A record of label and value pairs from the character profile, for example Age, Height or Birthday. The keys are the labels returned, so read the record rather than expecting a fixed schema.

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.

Are the appearances paged?

No. Both animeography and mangaography are complete arrays, and the result has no cursor.
