NekosBest vs Studio Ghibli

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.

The original ghibliapi.herokuapp.com now returns Heroku's 'No such app' placeholder — Heroku retired free dynos in November 2022 — but the project lives on at the community-maintained ghibliapi.vercel.app mirror, confirmed live with a real films listing and Access-Control-Allow-Origin echoing the request's Origin. It remains a free, keyless, read-only dataset of Ghibli films, people, and locations.
