Public API

YumeDB exposes an open, read-only API in the spirit of Jikan / MyAnimeList. It reads the canonical, multi-source model — so every entry carries its external IDs (for example the mal_id under the myanimelist namespace), letting you cross-reference against other databases.

Responses are JSON: single resources come wrapped as { data }, lists add a pagination block (page, per_page, total, pages, has_next_page). Errors are { error, message, status } with the matching HTTP code.

No key or authentication is required — it’s open and CORS-enabled for browser use. The full schema, request/response shapes and a live playground are in the interactive reference. Rate limits will be published here as the API stabilizes.
