AniChart Seasonal Anime Scraper

Scrape seasonal anime data from AniChart.net — the popular seasonal anime chart site. Filter by season, year, genre, and format. Powered by the AniList GraphQL API.

What does this Actor do?

• Scrapes anime listings from AniChart for any season from 2009 to today
• Filters by genre (Action, Comedy, Romance, etc.) and format (TV, Movie, OVA…)
• Returns rich metadata: titles, scores, studios, cover images, descriptions, air dates
• Supports three modes: current season, single season, or full archive scrape

Why use this Actor?

• Structured data — every field is typed and consistently present (nulls, not missing keys)
• Fast — direct GraphQL API calls, no browser required
• Reliable — state persists across Actor migrations; rate-limit-aware (25 req/min)
• Flexible — combine season + genre + format filters freely

How much does it cost?

Each anime item costs $0.0019. A typical single-season run (~100 anime) costs ~$0.19. Scraping the full archive (~7,000 anime, 2009–today) costs ~$13.

Tips

• Leave season and year blank to quickly scrape the current season
• Genre filter uses AND logic — selecting both "Action" and "Comedy" returns only anime with both genres
• The tags field contains fine-grained AniList tags (e.g., "Male Protagonist", "Isekai") for deeper filtering downstream
