Overview

MangaDex provides programmatic access to manga database and community via REST API.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

anime/manga title
episode count
airing status
synopsis
rating score
genre list

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative 
{
  "id": 1,
  "title": "Attack on Titan",
  "episodes": 75,
  "status": "Finished Airing",
  "score": 8.5,
  "genres": [
    "Action",
    "Drama",
    "Fantasy"
  ],
  "synopsis": "In a world where humanity lives within enormous walled cities..."
}

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request 
const url = "https://api.mangadex.org/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
