GitHub - walterwhite-69/AllManga.to-API: Allmanga.to Live rest API

An unofficial, self-hostable REST API for allmanga.to — search anime, browse episodes, and get direct 1080p MP4 stream URLs with zero cookies needed.

Why does this exist?

AnimeKai is shutting down. And honestly, it won't be the last.

Every time a popular anime site dies, every app, bot, and project built on top of it dies too. Kai going down hit a lot of people. So instead of waiting for the next thing to get taken down, I built something you can run yourself — backed by a source that has been stable for years.

This scrapes allmanga.to (AllAnime), which has a clean internal GraphQL API under the hood. It is not scraping HTML that breaks every redesign. It is talking directly to their data layer. Much more reliable.

Run it yourself. Host it yourself. No rate limits from me, no middleman, no praying someone else's server stays up.

What it does

Search anime by title with sorting, type and translation filters
Homepage feed — latest updates + trending, just like the site
Full anime info — description, genres, studios, scores, seasons, episode counts
Direct 1080p MP4 stream URLs — no cookies, no captcha, no embeds needed
All embed servers decoded — GogoAnime, StreamSB, Doodstream, Streamtape, Mp4Upload, Filemoon, MyCloud and more
AES-256-CBC decryption for GogoAnime/VidStreaming
CORS enabled — plug it straight into any frontend
Beautiful built-in docs page at / plus full Swagger UI at /docs

Example response

{
  "results": [
    {
      "_id": "ReooPAxPMsHM4KPMY",
      "name": "1P",
      "englishName": "One Piece",
      "thumbnail": "https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/1810/139965.jpg",
      "score": 8.73,
      "type": "TV",
      "status": "Releasing",
      "genres": ["Action", "Adventure", "Comedy"],
      "availableEpisodes": { "sub": 1161, "dub": 1161, "raw": 0 },
      "season": { "quarter": "Fall", "year": 1999 }
    }
  ],
  "page": 1,
  "limit": 5,
  "hasNextPage": true
}

`GET /anime/info/{show_id}`

Full details for a show — description, genres, tags, studios, aired dates, episode counts.

curl "http://localhost:8000/anime/info/ReooPAxPMsHM4KPMY"

`GET /anime/episodes/{show_id}` — the main one

Episode list with direct CDN MP4 links. This is the one you actually want. Set includeStreams=true and you get playable 1080p URLs for sub and dub — no cookies, no captcha, no embed pages.

Param	Default	Notes
`episodeStart`	`1`	Starting episode number
`episodeEnd`	`9999`	Ending episode number
`includeStreams`	`false`	Set to `true` to get direct MP4 URLs

curl "http://localhost:8000/anime/episodes/ReooPAxPMsHM4KPMY?includeStreams=true&episodeStart=1&episodeEnd=3"

Example stream object

{
  "server": "allanime-cdn",
  "translationType": "sub",
  "url": "https://allanimenews.com/data2/media9/videos/.../sub/1_xxxx.mp4",
  "quality": "1080p",
  "sizeMB": 500.9,
  "durationSec": 1539.1,
  "type": "mp4",
  "headers": {
    "Referer": "https://allanimenews.com/",
    "Origin": "https://allanimenews.com"
  }
}

Pass the Referer header when playing. VLC, MPV, and most HTTP clients support this. You cannot paste the URL raw into a browser address bar — that is a browser security restriction, not an API limitation.

`GET /anime/sources`

All embed server URLs for an episode, decoded from AllAnime's XOR encoding. Set extractStreams=true to also pull actual video URLs from each embed page.

Most people will not need this. The CDN streams from /anime/episodes are cleaner — direct MP4, no ads, known file size. This endpoint is only useful as a fallback for anime not hosted on the AllAnime CDN. It also requires your browser cookies from allmanga.to to bypass their captcha check.

Param	Required	Notes
`showId`	yes	Show ID
`episode`	yes	Episode number e.g. `"1"`
`translationType`		`sub` `dub` `raw`
`extractStreams`		Also extract m3u8/mp4 from each embed
`X-Cookie` (header)	yes	Your allmanga.to browser cookies

How to get cookies

Open allmanga.to in your browser and pass any Cloudflare challenge
Open DevTools then Application then Cookies and copy all the values
Paste them as the X-Cookie header value

curl -H "X-Cookie: <your cookies>" \
  "http://localhost:8000/anime/sources?showId=ReooPAxPMsHM4KPMY&episode=1&translationType=sub"

`GET /anime/stream`

Extract playable video URLs from any embed page URL. Pass an embed link, get back m3u8 or mp4 URLs.

Param	Notes
`url`	Full embed URL
`server`	Optional hint: `gogoanime` `streamsb` `doodstream` `streamtape` `mp4upload` `filemoon` `mycloud`

curl "http://localhost:8000/anime/stream?url=https://dood.wf/e/XXXXX&server=doodstream"

The flow that actually works (no cookies)

1. Search
   GET /anime/search?q=attack+on+titan
   grab the "_id" from the result you want

2. Get episodes with streams
   GET /anime/episodes/{id}?includeStreams=true
   each episode has a "streams" array

3. Play
   take any "url" from the streams array
   pass Referer: https://allanimenews.com/
   done. 1080p MP4, sub or dub.

FAQ

Q: Why allmanga.to? AllAnime has a real internal GraphQL API that has been stable for years. Most sites scrape raw HTML which breaks every time they redesign. This is far more reliable.

Q: Will this break when sites get taken down? This does not depend on Kai or any site that went down. allmanga.to is an independent source. If they ever change their API I will update the code.

Q: The MP4 URL does not play in my browser You need to send Referer: https://allanimenews.com/ with the request. Browsers do not let you set Referer manually in the address bar — use VLC, MPV, or proxy it through your own backend.

Q: Getting CAPTCHA_REQUIRED on /anime/sources Use /anime/episodes?includeStreams=true instead. Direct CDN streams, zero cookies needed. /anime/sources is just a fallback for edge cases.

Q: Can I use this in my project? MIT licensed. Go for it.

Built because Kai went down and I was tired of waiting for someone else to fix it
