MangaUpdates API
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.
