Overview

NekosBest serves anime-style neko (cat-girl) images and roleplay GIF reactions like hugging, patting, or waving, all sourced from a curated anime art collection. No API key is needed, so you can start fetching images with a single GET request. It is ideal for Discord bots, chat apps, or any project that needs fun anime reaction images.

Beginner Tip

Call GET https://nekos.best/api/v2/<category> where category is a reaction like hug, pat, wave, or neko. The response always includes an array of results with image URL, anime source, and artist info.

CORS Error in browser Making requests from a browser frontend in some environments.

✓ Keep the amount query parameter at 1-20; the default is 1 if omitted.

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.
