AnimeChan vs NekosBest
AnimeChan
The rebuilt AnimeChan now runs as a hosted service at api.animechan.io (the original GitHub project moved under the AnimechanOrg organization), serving anime-quote JSON with a wide-open CORS policy confirmed live against the real gateway. It's free for casual use at a default 5 requests/hour, with a 1,000/hour tier for anyone who becomes a paid supporter.
NekosBest
NekosBest was reconfirmed live at nekos.best/api/v2 with a real image lookup and an explicit Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header. It needs no API key, is rate-limited to 200 requests/minute per the response headers, and has no paid tier.
