The Anime API is a collection of wrappers for different types of free anime-related APIs. Join our Discord server.

There are several reasons why would you prefer using anime-api:

• Intuitive: anime-api is designed to be intuitive. Supports autocompletion everywhere.
• Complete: Every actively supported API has no feature left apart.
• Simple: Get all the anime information you want with a single line of code.
• Legal: I shouldn't need to say this, but all the APIs are legal. (no free streaming services/others)
• Actively supported: Get new releases (with new API wrappers) every now and then.

Using Poetry:

poetry add anime-api

Using pip:

pip install anime-api

The full documentation can be found here.
