Overview

AnimeFacts is a simple REST API with over 100 trivia facts about popular anime series, accessible by an anime slug name. No API key is required and the response is a tiny JSON array — perfect for adding a fun "did you know" widget to any anime fan site or flash card app.

Beginner Tip

Use slug names like "fma_brotherhood" or "attack_on_titan" in the URL. The full list of supported anime slugs is on the GitHub README at https://chandan-02.github.io/anime-facts-rest-api/.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

episode count

airing status

synopsis

rating score

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

404 Not Found The anime slug is unrecognized — slugs use underscores and must match exactly

✓ Check the supported slug list on the project GitHub page before querying

Long response time on first call The Heroku free dyno may be sleeping and takes 10-30 seconds to wake

✓ Wait a moment and retry — subsequent requests will be fast once the dyno is awake

fact_id out of range Requesting a specific fact number that exceeds the total for that anime

✓ Omit the fact_id to receive all facts, then check the array length before targeting a specific index

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
