About Nekos API

Nekos API provides anime-style images and GIFs through an HTTP API, with search by tags, retrieval of images by ID, and endpoints for random images or random image files. It uses AI to tag images and offers client libraries for Python and JavaScript.

The project is open-source under the MIT license, with source code, documentation, and the website all hosted in a public GitHub repository. It is aimed at developers building applications that need anime image content, such as Discord bots or similar integrations.

A prior version of the API (v2.7.0) has been deprecated. The project also maintains related sub-projects including Nekos.Land, NekoSauce, AniCard, and Naoka, though NekoSauce's development is currently paused pending funding.
