Frequently asked questions

What is AnimeDoc?

AnimeDoc is an anime and movie streaming API with search, details and playback endpoints, plus a free site to watch anime online.

Is there a free anime streaming API?

Yes. AnimeDoc has a free plan: 20 requests a day and 10 a minute, with search, details and media sources. No credit card needed. Paid plans add the stream proxy and higher limits.

What is the best Consumet alternative?

If you want a hosted API instead of running Consumet yourself, AnimeDoc is a good fit: it has search, details, episode sources and a stream proxy behind one API key, with documented rate limits. See the full comparison at /consumet-alternative.

Can I use AnimeDoc in a Discord bot?

Yes. Call the API from your bot with your key. There's a step-by-step discord.js tutorial at /tutorials/anime-discord-bot.

Can I use AnimeDoc in a Telegram bot?

Yes. There's a Python tutorial at /tutorials/anime-telegram-bot.

Does AnimeDoc work with React and React Native?

Yes. Call it from a small server that holds your API key; tutorials for React and React Native show the full code.

How much does the AnimeDoc API cost?

Free: $0 (20 requests/day). Starter: $12/month (3,000/day). Pro: $22/month (20,000/day). Business: from $100/month (500,000+/day). Six-month plans cost the same as five months ($60 Starter, $110 Pro), and a 3-Day Pass costs $1. Prices show in your own currency once you sign in.

What happens when I hit the rate limit?

The API returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Per-minute limits clear within a minute; daily quotas reset at 00:00 UTC.

Can I watch anime free on AnimeDoc?

Yes. Watch 3 videos free without an account, then sign up free to keep watching. Calling the API from your own app needs an API key.

Does the API include anime movies?

Yes. The same catalog covers anime series, anime movies, animation, and other movies and series.

Is AnimeDoc content licensed?

AnimeDoc serves content from licensed content providers. The catalog follows those providers, so it can change.
