}About the anime.com API
The anime.com API exposes 6 endpoints covering the full anime.com catalog: browse and search shows, retrieve per-show details and full episode lists grouped by season, pull the latest news feed, and fetch community poll results. The get_show_details endpoint returns streaming platform links, airing status, vote ratings, genre tags, and a full synopsis for any show identified by its slug.
Show Discovery and Search
The search endpoint accepts a query string and returns matching shows with id, slug, name, poster_url, type, status, vote_average, and vote_count, plus a total_count of matching results. The get_shows_list endpoint browses the full catalog sorted by vote count descending, using cursor-based pagination controlled by limit and cursor parameters. Both endpoints return the slug field needed to call the detail and episode endpoints.
Show Details and Episodes
get_show_details takes a slug and returns the complete show record: title, description, genres, rating, status (e.g. AIRING or FINISHED), vote_count, poster_url, and a streams array listing each platform name and direct URL. get_show_episodes returns every episode for a show as a flat array of objects, each with season, episode, title, description, air_date, and vote_average — covering all seasons in a single call.
News and Polls
The get_news_feed endpoint returns paginated news articles with id, title, summary, content, published_at, author, and url, drawn from social media and official anime sources. Pagination uses page_info.endCursor to advance through results. The get_polls endpoint requires no input and returns all active community polls, each with a question, totalVotes, and an options array containing per-option text, voteCount, and order.
