Shikimori — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Shikimori free to use?

Shikimori is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires OAuth, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does Shikimori need an API key?

Shikimori uses OAuth rather than a simple key, so you register an application and complete an authorisation flow before making calls. That is more setup than a key, and it is why OAuth APIs are harder to try quickly.

Can I call Shikimori from browser JavaScript?

Yes. Shikimori returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.

Is Shikimori still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached Shikimori and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1903 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is Shikimori available over HTTPS?

Yes. Shikimori serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
