Tool Tokens
get_news ~167

Read the latest Anime News Network stories from their RSS feeds. 'all' mixes news, reviews and features; 'news' and 'reviews' are the narrower feeds. Filter with 'category' to keep only stories the feed tags a given way, such as Manga or Anime. The feed is the whole window available: there is no way to reach older stories through this tool. When you repeat a story, cite Anime News Network and link the article.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystringKeep only items tagged this way, matched case-insensitively.
editionstringRegional edition. They differ mostly in release and licensing coverage.
feedstringWhich feed to read. 'all' is the busiest.
limitintegerHow many stories to return.
NameTypeReqDescription
editionstringyes
feedstringyes
itemsarrayyes
notesarrayyes
total_availableintegeryesItems in the feed after 'category' was applied, before 'limit'.

No examples provided.

get_title ~186

Read one Anime News Network encyclopedia entry by id. Get the id and kind from search_titles first. Sections are opt-in because a full record is very large: ask only for what you need. 'basic' covers type, vintage, genres, themes, episode count, ratings and the plot summary. Long plot summaries are paginated: when 'truncated' is true, call again with 'offset' set to 'next_offset'.

NameTypeReqDescription
idintegeryesEncyclopedia id, from search_titles.
kindstringyesWhich lookup the id belongs to, from search_titles.
max_charsintegerCharacter budget for the plot summary.
offsetintegerWhere to resume the plot summary.
sectionsarrayWhich parts to return. 'basic' is usually enough. Adding 'cast' or 'news' can multiply the size of the answer.
NameTypeReqDescription
alt_titlesarrayyes
castarray
cast_languagesarrayEvery language the site records a cast in, with its full credit count, so a trimmed 'cast' still shows what exists. Ask again with a narrower question if a language you need was cut.

No examples provided.

list_recent ~150

List what was added to the Anime News Network encyclopedia most recently: anime, manga, people or companies. Pass 'starts_with' to browse titles alphabetically instead, which only applies to anime and manga. Rows carry an id you can pass to get_title when the kind is anime or manga. This is a listing, not a search: use search_titles when you know what you are looking for.

NameTypeReqDescription
kindstringWhich catalogue to list.
limitintegerHow many rows to return.
offsetintegerHow many rows to skip, for paging.
starts_withstringSingle letter. Switches to an alphabetical browse of titles. Anime and manga only.
NameTypeReqDescription
kindstringyes
modestringyes'recent' is by date added, 'browse' is alphabetical.
next_offsetyesPass as 'offset' for the next page. Null when the last page came back short.
notesarrayyes
offsetintegeryes
rowsarrayyes

No examples provided.

search_titles ~149

Search the Anime News Network encyclopedia for anime and manga by title. Returns one compact row per match: id, kind, type, name, precision and vintage. Use the id and kind with get_title to read the full entry. Matching is on substring, so a short query returns a lot: narrow the query rather than raising 'limit'. This searches titles only. It cannot find an entry from a plot detail, a character or a studio.

NameTypeReqDescription
kindstringRestrict results to one kind. The encyclopedia returns both by default.
limitintegerHow many rows to return.
querystringyesTitle or part of one, for example 'cowboy bebop'.
NameTypeReqDescription
notesarrayyes
querystringyes
resultsarrayyes
total_availableintegeryesMatches before 'limit' was applied. Higher than results.length means narrow the query.
