MyAnimeList User API FAQ

Can I read a private profile?

No. The route returns public profiles only. Private or hidden fields are absent or null, and a name that does not resolve returns not_found.

What is in `animeStats`?

Days watched, mean score, status counts, total entries, rewatched count and episodes watched. mangaStats uses the manga equivalents: reading, reread, chapters and volumes.

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 do I get the full lists?

Use /users/{username}/anime-list and /users/{username}/manga-list. The profile only carries the recent updates and the aggregate statistics.
