About this endpoint
GET /v1/myanimelist/manga/{id}/pictures returns data.pictures[] with url and alt. The array is the gallery for the manga, with no cursor.
A manga with no gallery, and an unknown manga id, both return lookupStatus: not_found for this sub-resource. The image URLs are links, not copies.
MyAnimeList Manga Pictures API FAQ
Does a manga gallery include cover art?
It includes the pictures in the gallery. When there is no gallery, the array is empty even though the title still has a cover image in data.title.imageUrl on the manga route.
How many images can I expect?
It varies by title. The route returns the whole gallery, so there is no fixed page size.
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.
Can I use these URLs directly?
Yes, they are public image links. Respect MyAnimeList's terms when you display or rehost them.
