Free RESTful API for Manga Database & Community Content

Overview

The MangaDex API offers RESTful access to a comprehensive manga database and community features. Key endpoints include manga search (filter by genre, status, author), chapter retrieval (with multi-language options), user library management, and community interactions (ratings, comments). Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include building custom manga readers, integrating manga catalogs into apps, tracking reading progress, and accessing user-generated content like reviews. It supports pagination and advanced filtering for efficient data retrieval.
