Anime App FAQ
MyAnimeList API, AniList GraphQL API, and Kitsu API provide detailed anime and manga metadata including titles, synopses, ratings, genres, and user lists. Jikan is an unofficial MyAnimeList API that is popular among developers.
Streaming licensed anime requires agreements with Japanese studios and distributors (Aniplex, Toei, Bandai Namco). Crunchyroll and Funimation dominate licensed streaming. Tracking and community apps avoid licensing costs by not hosting content themselves.
