Changelog

Added deleted entries lists for deleted IDs

• GET /v1/anime/deleted (Browse deleted anime entries)
• GET /v1/manga/deleted (Browse deleted manga entries)

Interest Stacks have been added to Tenrai v1, bringing public MyAnimeList Interest Stack browsing to the API.

New Main Interest Stacks Category:

• GET /v1/stacks (Browse/search all public interest stacks)
• GET /v1/stacks/:id (Get full interest stack details, including entries in source order)

New Entity-Linked Interest Stack Endpoints:

• GET /v1/anime/:id/stacks (Get all public interest stacks for an anime)
• GET /v1/manga/:id/stacks (Get all public interest stacks for a manga)

Public rate limits have increased to 120 requests per minute and 4 requests per second.

Featured Articles have been added. While originally planned for Jikan v5, we've brought them forward to Tenrai v1.

New Main Articles Category:

• GET /v1/articles (Browse/search all featured articles)
• GET /v1/articles/tags (Get all article tags & counts)
• GET /v1/articles/:id (Get full article details)

New Entity-Linked Article Endpoints:

• GET /v1/anime/:id/articles
• GET /v1/manga/:id/articles
• GET /v1/people/:id/articles
• GET /v1/characters/:id/articles

The Anime Forum endpoint is now live. Manga /forum will come soon.

• Episode Threads Only: Currently returns episode discussion threads.
• Jikan v4 Compatible: Uses the exact same schema as Jikan v4 (supports filter=episode).

Anime episodes now expose individual cover images where available.

• Source: Cover images are sourced from Crunchyroll (since that's what MAL uses and links on their pages).
• Note: If an anime isn't available on Crunchyroll, cover images may be missing for now. We are working on expanding image coverage for titles beyond Crunchyroll catalogue in future, along with higher quality covers.

We've removed the 3 character minimum limit from all search endpoints.

Server keys now have their own separate cache. All responses are cached for 10 mins. Meaning server key users will be able to access updated information slightly quicker than public api users.

We've also optimized and accelerated the top and seasons endpoints. These endpoints are frequently used in home pages of many applications, so improvements are very meaningful here. Your apps should hopefully be a little snappier now.

SFW filtering is now available for:

• Search and browse endpoints:
  • GET /v1/anime
  • GET /v1/anime/ids
  • GET /v1/manga
  • GET /v1/manga/ids
  • GET /v1/seasons/{year}/{season}
  • GET /v1/seasons/now
  • GET /v1/seasons/upcoming
  • GET /v1/schedules
• Top and random endpoints:
  • GET /v1/top/anime
  • GET /v1/top/manga
  • GET /v1/top/reviews
  • GET /v1/random/anime
  • GET /v1/random/manga
• Anime and manga related-content endpoints:
  • GET /v1/anime/{id}/full
  • GET /v1/anime/{id}/relations
  • GET /v1/anime/{id}/recommendations
  • GET /v1/anime/{id}/news
  • GET /v1/manga/{id}/full
  • GET /v1/manga/{id}/relations
  • GET /v1/manga/{id}/recommendations
  • GET /v1/manga/{id}/news
• Character endpoints:
  • GET /v1/characters/{id}/anime
  • GET /v1/characters/{id}/manga
  • GET /v1/characters/{id}/full
• People endpoints:
  • GET /v1/people/{id}/anime
  • GET /v1/people/{id}/manga
  • GET /v1/people/{id}/voices
  • GET /v1/people/{id}/full
• Recommendation and review feeds:
  • GET /v1/recommendations/anime
  • GET /v1/recommendations/manga
  • GET /v1/reviews/anime
  • GET /v1/reviews/manga

• Normal SFW filtering excludes:
  • Anime rated R+ or Rx
  • Hentai-tagged content
  • Erotica-tagged content
• Added a new sfw-strict flag wherever SFW filtering is available. Strict mode adds Ecchi filtering on top of the normal SFW exclusions.
• Strict filtering only takes effect when SFW filtering is enabled.
• Full/detail endpoints continue returning the requested root anime, manga, character, or person. SFW filtering applies to referenced media returned inside relations, recommendations, appearances, voice roles, and news relationships etc...

These changes should allow for much better fine control over the contents you want displayed within your apps.

We've also updated Ratings filters in all endpoints that have them to support use of multiple ratings within a single request, same as we currently allow with types.

Bugfixes and general performance optimizations.

Added new endpoints under /v1/news: GET /v1/news for paginated news lists with search and tag filtering, GET /v1/news/:id for full news details with related anime/manga details, and GET /v1/news/tags to list news categories with counts.

Exposed detailed YouTube video metadata (title, views, likes, dislikes, comment_count, published_at, duration, privacy_status, region_restriction, and embeddable) for trailers and promotional/music videos in the /anime/:id, /anime/:id/full, and /anime/:id/videos endpoints.

Added cover images (images object containing JPG and WebP paths) to related entries in the /anime/:id/relations and /anime/:id/full endpoints.

Added the specific media_type of related entries (e.g. Light Novel, Manga, Novel, TV, etc.) to the /anime/:id/full, /anime/:id/relations, /manga/:id/full, and /manga/:id/relations endpoint responses.

Added the replies count (number of forum replies) to the /anime/:id/episodes and /anime/:id/episodes/:episode_id endpoint responses.

Fixed /random/anime, /random/manga, /random/characters, and /random/people returning the same result on every request. Responses are no longer cached.

Added the moreinfo field containing trivia and detailed notes to the /anime/:id/full endpoint response.

Added individual episode synopses (synopsis) to the /anime/:id/episodes endpoint response.

Added filters (type, status, sfw, rating), optional field inclusion (include=title,type), result totals, and updated_at filtering by ISO 8601 date-time or Unix timestamp in the /anime/ids and /manga/ids endpoints. Corrected manga IDs example schema metadata.

Added the favorites count to the person schema inside the /anime/:id/characters endpoint response.

Added support for multiple comma-separated query parameters (e.g. ?filter=tv,ona or ?type=TV,Movie) across the seasons, search, and top endpoints.

Added duration field to /anime/:id/episodes endpoint response.

Fixed a bug where search filtering by certain genres returned empty results.

Fixed incorrect titles for manga roles in the people endpoint.

Fixed a bug with incorrect image urls.

Fixed search pagination behavior and made fixes to query sorting.

Fixed a bug where producer/studio logo image URLs (with /s/ paths) were missing the cdn. prefix. They now correctly resolve to https://cdn.myanimelist.net.

People search now orders favorites correctly by default and keeps missing favorites or birthdays at the end when sorting descending.

Character search now defaults name and MAL ID ordering to ascending while keeping favorites ordered by most favorited first.

Public access now includes 40,000 requests per day, up from 20,000.

Image response URLs now use https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images.
