Series data, community ratings and scanlation-release tracking from MangaUpdates (mangaupdates.com), the long-running reference database for manga, manhwa, manhua and light novels, read keyless from its public v1 API. MangaUpdates is the catalogue the manga-reading community has used for two decades to rate series, track which chapters have been scanlated by which groups, and rank what is popular — distinct from a reader/scanlation site (MangaDex) and from the anime-first databases (MyAnimeList, AniList). The search endpoint finds series by title. The series endpoint returns one series' full profile by its MangaUpdates id: its type (manga/manhwa/manhua/novel), year, completion status, its community Bayesian rating and vote count, its popularity rank over the last week, month, quarter, half-year and year, latest chapter, genres, categories, authors, publishers and description. The releases endpoint returns the most recent scanlation releases matching a title — the volume, chapter, scanlation group and date — newest first, the feature MangaUpdates is known for. This is the MangaUpdates cut — a distinct social and reference platform for comics, separate from MangaDex and the anime feeds in the catalogue. Ratings and ranks are MangaUpdates' own community metrics; a short cache fronts the upstream. Keyless.

Live data from Naver Webtoon (comic.naver.com), the world's largest webtoon platform, read keyless from Naver's public webtoon API. Naver Webtoon is where the modern vertical-scroll webtoon was born and where Korea's biggest series — Tower of God, Solo Leveling, Lookism and thousands more — are serialised; it is the centre of a global comics phenomenon. The weekday endpoint returns the webtoons that update on a given day (Monday to Sunday), ranked by readership, each with its title, author, reader star-rating and status flags (new, updated today, completed, on hiatus, 19+). The title endpoint returns one webtoon's full profile by its Naver title id: its synopsis, genre tags, age rating, the days it publishes, its subscriber (favourite) count and whether it has finished. This is the Naver Webtoon platform cut — a distinct social and creative platform, separate from the manga feeds (MangaDex) and the other comics and social feeds in the catalogue; webtoons are a distinct vertical-scroll format. Star ratings and subscriber counts are the real, live numbers Naver shows; titles, authors, genres and synopses are in Korean as Naver publishes them. Note: Naver does not expose raw view counts through this API, so none are reported — the subscriber count is the platform's popularity metric. A short cache fronts the upstream. Keyless.
