Animechan

Film, TV & Fandom

Anime quotes with the character who said them and the show they are from, drawn from a curated collection of a few thousand lines across roughly four hundred and sixty series. Draw one at random, pull a page of quotes from a given show or character, search the catalogue by title, or take a quote of the day that stays the same all day and can be reproduced for any past date. One thing worth knowing: Animechan matches names as substrings, including inside words, so asking for the character ‘Itachi’ returns ‘Hikaru Hitachiin’ from a different show and calls it a success. Every result here reports how well it actually matched, and every action that takes a name can be told to refuse anything short of a whole-word hit. Free, no account and no API key required, with a limit of about 100 requests a day.

Steps your workflow can run in Animechan.

Get a random anime quoteGet one random anime quote with the character who said it and the show it is from, ready to post. Narrow it to one anime or one character, or leave both empty to draw from the whole collection. Hand back the line you posted last time to avoid repeating it. No API key required.

Get several random quotesGet several different anime quotes at once, up to 10. No quote is drawn twice in the same batch. The API returns one random quote per request, so a batch of five spends five of the hundred requests this service allows per day, which is exactly why the ceiling is low. Narrow to one anime or character if you want a themed set. No API key required.

Get quotes by animeGet a page of quotes from one show, five at a time, which is all the API returns. Page through for more. Use this rather than drawing at random when you want a set from a known series, because it costs one request instead of one per quote. No API key required.

Get quotes by characterGet a page of quotes from one character, five at a time. This is where Animechan's loose matching bites hardest, because character names are short: 'Itachi' also matches 'Hitachiin'. Turn on 'Only exact matches' when the name came from a user rather than from an earlier step. No API key required.

Find an animeSearch the catalogue by title and get back the shows that match, best first, each with how many quotes it has on record. The step to put in front of the others when all a workflow has is a title out of a form field. Matching here is better than the quote routes': it matches whole words and folds accents, so 'cowboy bebop' finds Cowboy Bebop and a title typed without its accents still lands. Alternate titles are searched too. No API key required.

List animeList the shows Animechan carries, a hundred per page, with how many quotes each has and its MyAnimeList id where one is known. This is the only route that reports a total and a page count, so it is the one to loop over to walk the whole catalogue. No API key required.

Get the quote of the dayPick one quote for a given day and get the same one back every time you ask. A random draw cannot do this: two steps running the same morning would post different quotes, and re-running yesterday would not reproduce yesterday's. Give each workflow its own seed if two of them share a day and should not share a quote. No API key required.

Check service statusCheck whether Animechan is answering and how quickly, without failing the step when it is not. Put this in front of a workflow that would otherwise spend its daily request allowance discovering the service is down, and branch on 'ok'. It reports a throttle separately, so you can tell 'rate limited' from 'broken'. No API key required.
