Authentication
Every endpoint needs your API key in the X-API-Key header. Keep it on your server: anyone who sees it can spend your quota. If it leaks, regenerate it on the API key page; your plan stays the same.
Watching on animedoc.cloud is free and needs no key, but that access only works on the website itself. Your own app, server or script always needs the API key. See Getting started.
