Trace Moe

About Trace Moe

Trace Moe provides an anime scene search engine accessible through an HTTP API. Given an anime screenshot, it identifies which anime the image is from, along with the specific episode and timestamp where the scene appears.

The API is intended for developers building applications such as chat bots, browser plugins, video tagging or deduplication tools, and games that need to identify anime content from images. It also supports a URL-based integration method, allowing a search to be triggered by passing an image URL directly to the service without implementing the full API.

The project is authored by soruly and provides API documentation, an account and limits page, and a changelog for developers migrating from a previous version of the API.

Key features

• Reverse image search to identify which anime a screenshot is from
• Returns the specific episode and timestamp of the matched scene
• HTTP API for programmatic integration into bots, plugins, and apps
• URL-based search integration without needing to call the API directly
