FAQ

• Do you download the videos yourself / is your API subject to DMCA compliant
  • No, Enime API never downloads the video from any source provider, only link will be returned from the response hence it is completely not subject to DMCA compliant

Performance

• Enime API tries to only scrape anime that has necessity of being scraped through a semi-sophisticated algorithm, resulting in its capacity to keep track of thousands of anime at the same time with high performance.
  • On average, Enime API only uses ~300MB of RAM (spikes to ~1.3GB when intensively scraping) and <15% of CPU (80% when intensively scraping) while keeping track of ~6000 anime
