Toki turns public MyAnimeList data into a clean JSON REST API. It provides 70+ read-only endpoints for anime, manga, characters, users, rankings, seasons, reviews, recommendations, and more. It is written in Go, runs as a single binary, requires no database, API key, OAuth flow, or MyAnimeList developer credentials. Toki is open source, easy to self-host, and built as a lightweight alternative to Jikan.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Toki because developers need a simple and reliable way to access public MyAnimeList data without managing API credentials or depending entirely on a hosted third-party service.
Toki is an unofficial, open-source REST API written in Go. It currently includes more than 70 endpoints covering anime, manga, characters, people, users, seasons, rankings, schedules, reviews, recommendations, and more.
The entire service runs as a single binary and requires no database or supporting services. You can clone the repository, run one command, and start receiving predictable JSON responses locally.
Toki is still new, so feedback, bug reports, contributions, and GitHub stars would mean a lot. I would especially love to hear which endpoints or deployment options you want next.
Thanks for checking it out!
the single binary with no database dependency is a really thoughtful choice for a self-hosted API. shipping it in Go means deployment is basically just dropping a file on a server, which removes so much friction compared to the usual stack.
Spun it up locally and the fact that it just runs as a single binary with no setup is genuinely refreshing. The anime search endpoint came back fast and clean, perfect little Jikan alternative.
