# MyAnimeList Manga API

One manga id in, one structured record out with volumes, chapters, authors, magazines, scores and synopsis.

`GET /v1/myanimelist/manga/{id}` returns `data.title` for a manga, manhwa, manhua, novel or one-shot. Expect `title`, `titleEnglish`, `titleJapanese`, `alternativeTitles`, `type`, `volumes`, `chapters`, `status`, `published` (with `from` and `to` dates), `authors`, `serialization`, `genres`, `themes`, `demographics`, `score`, `scoredBy`, `rank`, `popularity`, `members`, `favorites`, `synopsis` and `background`.

The record also carries `imageUrl`, `links`, `related`, `characters`, `staff`, `stacks` and the preview lists. `data.lookupStatus` is `found` or `not_found`, and an unknown id still answers HTTP 200.

## 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.
