Anime — entry 007 of 15

Kitsu

Verified Jul 2026

Kitsu's JSON:API-flavored REST endpoint at kitsu.io/api/edge was confirmed live with an unauthenticated anime listing and an explicit Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header. Reading the catalog needs no account at all; OAuth is only required for actions tied to a user's own library, and the API itself carries no paid tier.
