🌸 Overview

AniKotoAPI is a serverless anime data API that scrapes and serves real-time information from anikototv.to — including anime details, episode lists, streaming servers, search, filtering, rankings, and more — all through a clean REST API with zero database setup.

💡 No database, no auth, no complex setup. Just deploy to Vercel and you have a production API.

  • 🎬 30 Endpoints — Complete coverage of anikototv.to data
  • 🔍 Full-Text Search — Search anime by keyword with suggestions
  • 📺 Episode Lists — AJAX-loaded episode data with server info
  • 🎯 Smart Filtering — Genre, type, status, rating, sort, season, year
  • 🏆 Rankings — Top 10 (day/week/month), trending, most popular
  • 🎲 Random Anime — Random anime discovery endpoint
  • ⚡ Smart Caching — 5-minute TTL reduces source site load
  • 🔒 CORS Enabled — Works from any frontend, no proxy needed
  • 🚀 Zero-Config Deploy — One click to Vercel, or run standalone with Express

🏗️ Architecture

Request Flow

Stage Component Description
1 Client Browser, app, or curl sends request
2 Vercel Edge / Express Routes request, applies CORS + security headers
3 Cache Check In-memory Map with 5-min TTL — hit = instant response
4 Scrape Source Axios fetches HTML from anikototv.to with custom headers
5 Parse HTML Cheerio extracts data using CSS selectors
6 Cache + Respond Store in cache, return JSON response

💡 Serverless functions have read-only filesystems except /tmp. The cache uses in-memory Map which survives across warm invocations.

ALLOWED_ORIGINS * Comma-separated allowed origins

Vercel Configuration

The vercel.json file handles:

  • Builds — Maps server.js to @vercel/node
  • Routes — All requests forwarded to Express
  • Headers — CORS Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

📡 API Endpoints

Base URL

https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api

Streaming Flow

To get a stream URL, follow these 3 steps:

# Step 1: Get episodes (returns server_ids)
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/episodes/road-of-naruto-ggjw8"

# Step 2: Get servers (pass server_ids from Step 1)
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/servers?ids=SlNVT25JaFlCMnZOe..."

# Step 3: Get stream URL (pass link_id from Step 2)
curl "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream?id=MTF1dkFtaW9BRTZPbz..."

Dub & Sub Switch

Servers have a type field — use it to pick sub or dub:

// Step 2 response
{
  "results": [
    { "type": "sub", "name": "HD-1", "link_id": "MTF1..." },
    { "type": "sub", "name": "Vidstream-2", "link_id": "MTF1..." },
    { "type": "dub", "name": "HD-1", "link_id": "MTF1..." },
    { "type": "dub", "name": "Vidstream-2", "link_id": "MTF1..." }
  ]
}

// Pick dub or sub
const servers = await fetch('/api/servers?ids=...').then(r => r.json());
const dubServer = servers.results.find(s => s.type === 'dub');
const subServer = servers.results.find(s => s.type === 'sub');

// Get stream URL
const stream = await fetch(`/api/stream?id=${dubServer.link_id}`).then(r => r.json());
// stream.results.url = "https://megaplay.buzz/stream/s-5/169837/dub"

Note: Not all anime have dub. Check sub/dub counts in search or home response.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution
❌ npm install fails Node.js version too old Upgrade to Node.js 20+ (node -v)
❌ 500 error on filter Missing keyword param Add ?keyword= (even empty) to filter requests
❌ Empty episodes array AJAX not loaded Use /api/episodes/:slug which fetches via AJAX
❌ CORS errors Frontend domain blocked CORS is * — check browser extension
❌ 404 on API routes Wrong URL format Use /api/ prefix, not just /
❌ Deploy fails on Vercel Build error Check node server.js locally first
❌ Slow first request Serverless cold start Normal — first request after idle takes ~3s
❌ Rate limited Too many requests Cache reduces this — wait 5 min for TTL expiry

❓ FAQ

📰 How do I search for anime?
Use /api/search?keyword=your+search. Results include title, poster, episodes, rating, and genres. For autocomplete suggestions, use /api/search/suggest?keyword=your+search which returns max 10 results.
📺 How do I get episode lists?
Use /api/episodes/:slug where :slug is the anime URL slug (e.g., one-piece-odmau). This fetches episode data via AJAX for accuracy. The response includes animeId, totalEpisodes, and episodes array.
🎯 How does filtering work?
Use /api/filter with query params. The keyword param is required by the source site (use empty string if not searching). Combine genre, type, status, sort, season, and year for advanced filtering.
📡 Can I use this in my frontend app?
Yes! CORS is enabled for all origins (*). Just make fetch requests to the API endpoints. No API key needed. Example: fetch('https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/search?keyword=naruto')
🔄 How often does the data refresh?
The cache TTL is 5 minutes. After that, the next request triggers a fresh scrape from anikototv.to. This keeps data relatively fresh while reducing load on the source site.
🎲 What does the random endpoint do?
/api/random follows a redirect on the source site to a random anime page, then returns the full anime info including title, synopsis, rating, genres, and poster.
🌐 Can I self-host this?
Yes! Use npm start to run the Express server on any VPS, Docker container, or PaaS. The Vercel serverless functions are optional — server.js handles everything.
📊 How many anime are indexed?
The API can access 10,000+ anime titles from anikototv.to. The most-popular endpoint alone has 293 pages of results with 30 items per page.
