Trace Moe

API

Anime scene recognition API from screenshots

Overview

Trace Moe API lets developers integrate anime scene search into apps/services. It accepts image uploads (POST) or URLs (GET) to return exact scene details: anime title (romaji/English), episode number, timestamp (seconds), similarity score, and preview frames. Responses are JSON-formatted. Use cases include helping users identify unknown anime scenes, content creators verifying clip sources, or building tools for enthusiasts to discover scene contexts. It leverages a large anime episode database for accurate matching.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

fetch('https://soruly.github.io/trace.moe-api/#/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
