The AniList API gives data about anime and manga, such as titles, episodes, studios, characters, airing schedules and scores, for example to show what airs this week. It is a GraphQL API: POST one query to https://graphql.anilist.co and get exactly the fields you ask for as JSON; OAuth gives access to user lists. Free, no key needed; commercial apps may use it free of charge while they earn less than $150 a month. Requests are rate limited per minute.
