About Nookipedia

Nookipedia API is a free RESTful service that provides structured data from the Nookipedia wiki, a community-driven encyclopedia covering the Animal Crossing video game series. It is built with Python, Flask, and nginx, and offers endpoints covering villagers across the entire series, along with New Horizons-specific data including artworks, bugs, clothing, dates and events, fish, fossils, furniture, gyroids, interior items, miscellaneous items, photos and posters, recipes, sea creatures, and tools.

Access requires an API key obtained by submitting a request form, a change from the API's predecessor, which scraped data directly from the wiki without requiring a key. The current version instead pulls from a structured, constrained database, resulting in more consistent data, improved search matching, and filtering support. Nookipedia's text content is released under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license, requiring attribution and a link back where possible; images remain the property of their respective owners.

The API is suited for developers building applications or tools related to the Animal Crossing series who need reliable, structured game data. Support is available through a Discord server with a channel for API users and Nookipedia staff, as well as through the wiki's development talk page.
