Anime — entry 005 of 15
Danbooru Anime
Danbooru's JSON API was reconfirmed live and open — an unauthenticated GET against posts.json returned normal post data with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * — though registering a free account and API key raises the otherwise tight per-request and page limits, and paid Gold/Platinum accounts raise them further still. It remains one of the largest tagged anime-art archives with full search-by-tag support.
