AnimeChan

Overview

AnimeChan served random anime quotes as JSON — a popular keyless quote API for anime-themed projects.

⚠️ Status (verified 2026-08): both the current host (animechan.io/api/v1/...) and the legacy host (animechan.vercel.app/api/...) return HTTP 404 (Next.js error pages). The service appears to be offline or restructured — verify from your network before relying on it.

What it used to provide

curl "https://animechan.vercel.app/api/random"

{
  "anime": "Naruto",
  "character": "Itachi Uchiha",
  "quote": "People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true..."
}

Alternatives
