🎴 Kitsu Anime & Manga Scraper

🚀 Turn any anime or manga search into a clean, structured catalog in seconds. Search Kitsu by keyword and pull posters, titles, ratings, ranks, and synopses for every match.

Looking up anime and manga details one page at a time is slow. This Actor lets you search the Kitsu catalog by a text query, choose anime or manga, and collect every matching title with its poster image, canonical and localized titles, rating, popularity rank, status, air or publication dates, and full synopsis.

It covers both the anime side (TV, movies, OVA, ONA, specials, music) and the manga side (manga, novels, one shots, doujin), so you can build a media database, enrich a recommendation app, or research a franchise without copy and paste.
