Overview

Pull anime and manga data from AniList with the AniList Scraper. Search a title and export its score, popularity, format, status, episodes/chapters, genres, studios, season, start/end dates, description and cover image — one clean row per title as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Built for anime apps, recommendation engines, tracking tools, media research and data enrichment, it turns a list of titles into a structured anime/manga dataset.

What it does

🎌 Anime & manga — search either, with the format and status of each title.
⭐ Scores & popularity — average score, mean score, popularity and favourites.
📺 Counts — episodes (anime) or chapters/volumes (manga), and episode duration.
🏷️ Rich metadata — genres, studios, source, season, start/end dates and country.
🖼️ Media — cover image and banner, plus the AniList page URL.
📝 Synopsis — the description for each title.
📤 Export anywhere — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into an app, sheet or dashboard.
