Introduction

The Rakun API

Rakun is built on top of both FastAPI and Meilisearch to provide the easiest searching experience possible. The API is invisible to most people but is what Rakun is built on top of. For searching, Meilisearch is just about as fast and accurate as it gets. Of course, the data that goes into the search engine has to be just as good, so the scraper has been built from the ground up using Jikan to get the metadata for each item.

A special thanks goes to the Jikan Team, Meilisearch as well as MalSync for their help.

The Rakun API and Search API are both completely free to use. Please enjoy using Rakun and if you develop something using Rakun, let me know and I can put it on the GitHub. Below you can find Ryuko, the Rakun poster girl mascot as well as the Discord server and Github.
