MyAnimeList Manga API FAQ

Does the manga route include anime adaptations?

Yes. data.title.related carries every related entry with relation, mediaKind, id, title, format and url, so adaptations, side stories and spin-offs are visible in one array.

Are chapters and volumes always present?

They are null when no count is available, which happens for ongoing works and some one-shots. The same rule applies to rank and score.

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.

How is this different from the anime route?

The manga route fills published, volumes, chapters, authors and serialization instead of aired, episodes, studios and broadcast. Both share the scoring, synopsis, links, related and character preview fields.
