API Reference ​

HeaderDescription

x-rate-limit-remainingRemaining requests in the current window
x-rate-limit-resetISO 8601 timestamp of when the current window resets

Limits ​

EndpointLimit
/search7 requests per 5 seconds
/:category200 requests per minute (per category)

User-Agent ​

All requests must include a User-Agent header. Please use the following format: APP_NAME (CONTACT_INFO).
For example: NekoApp (https://example.com) or NekoApp (dev@example.com)

Naming Guidelines:

  • Be specific: Do not use generic names like "Discord Bot", "WhatsApp Bot", or "Telegram Bot". Your application must have a unique name.
  • Avoid placeholders: Do not use strings like test, bot, or the example value above.
  • No library defaults: Avoid using default library strings such as python-requests, okhttp, axios, node, or Go-http-client.

Contact Information Options:
The contact info does not have to be a traditional website. Any of the following are acceptable ways to provide identification:

  • A direct contact email address.
  • A project website or public repository URL (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).
  • A bot invite link or discovery page.
  • A listing URL (e.g., top.gg or similar directories).

Spoofing and Impersonation:

  • Do not spoof browser strings. The Mozilla/5.0 ... format is strictly reserved for real web browsers and Cloudflare-verified bots.
  • Do not impersonate known crawlers like Googlebot or Bingbot.

Failure to follow these guidelines and using generic, default, or spoofed values will likely result in your requests being blocked.

Categories ​

Categories define the type of content returned by the API. Each category maps to a fixed file format.
