AniPub API vs NekosBest: common questions

Which is more reliable, AniPub API or NekosBest?

Only NekosBest is on our probe schedule so far (—% uptime over 90 days). The other is catalogued but not yet live-checked, so we can't compare measured reliability head-to-head — check the uncovered API's own status page for now.

Do AniPub API and NekosBest need an API key?

Neither needs a paid key — AniPub API is callable with no signup, and NekosBest is callable with no signup. Both are quick to prototype with; rate limits still apply.

Can I call AniPub API and NekosBest from the browser?

Neither sends browser-friendly CORS headers reliably, so call AniPub API and NekosBest from a server or proxy rather than client-side. The CORS and HTTPS rows above show exactly what we detected for each.

Are AniPub API and NekosBest free for commercial use?

AniPub API has unclear commercial terms, and NekosBest has unclear commercial terms. We track service terms and the data license as separate fields — see the Commercial use and Data license rows above, and confirm both before shipping either in a paid product.
