Jikan Scraper

Unofficial MyAnimeList API Returns clean, structured JSON records ready for analysis, automation, or integration with other tools.

What You Get

• Anime titles and synopses
• Episode counts and air dates
• Genre and rating data
• Studio and staff information

All results are returned as structured JSON objects — no parsing or cleanup required.

This actor supports automatic pagination — it keeps fetching pages until maxResults is reached.

Quick Start

Click Run with default settings — no configuration needed. The actor works out of the box.

{
  "maxResults": 100,
  "searchQuery": ""
}

Or search for specific data:

{
  "searchQuery": "attack on titan",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "startPage": 1,
  "resultsPerPage": 0
}

Input Options

Field	Default	Description
searchQuery	""	Keyword or phrase to filter results. Leave empty to browse all records.
maxResults	100	Maximum records to retrieve (1–10,000). Increase for bulk exports.
startPage	1	Page to start from. Useful for resuming a previous run.
resultsPerPage	0	Records per page (0 = use maximum allowed). Reduce if rate-limited.
type	"tv"	Filter by anime type
status	"airing"	Filter by airing status
rating	"pg13"	Filter by age rating
score	"7.5"	Minimum score filter (1–10)
min_score	"7"	Minimum score (1–10)
max_score	"10"	Maximum score (1–10)
order_by	"score"	Sort results by field
sort	"desc"	Sort direction
sfw	"true"	Filter out adult content

Output Format

Results are pushed to the Apify Dataset as individual JSON records. Each run also saves a summary to the Key-Value Store under OUTPUT:

{
  "totalResults": 100,
  "fetchedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Dataset records contain the raw structured data returned by the source, including fields like:

• Anime titles and synopses
• Episode counts and air dates
• Genre and rating data

Use Cases

• Anime recommendation engines
• Streaming catalog management
• Fan wikis and community sites
• Content discovery platforms

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 results — pay only for what you use. Pricing is based on the number of records pushed to the dataset.

Results	Estimated Cost
100	$0.10
1,000	$1.00
10,000	$10.00

Notes

• Results are pushed to the dataset in real time as they are fetched
• The actor automatically retries failed requests up to 3 times
• Rate limiting is handled gracefully with built-in delays
• Run multiple times safely — each run creates a fresh dataset
