API

Free REST API for Studio Ghibli film resources

Overview

Endpoints like /films return details (title, director, release date, synopsis) while /people links characters to their associated films and species. Responses are in JSON format with no authentication required. Ideal for building fan websites, educational tools about anime storytelling, or integrating Ghibli content into apps. It aggregates canonical data from official sources, making it reliable for developers of all skill levels.
