All data is served as static JSON files. There is no query parameter filtering on the server side. Filter client-side after fetching.
The id field is stable for a given version and can be used to deep-link back to the TERMI.MAL+ site using https://termi.mal.plus/#cmd/{id}
The note field in the API is plain text. The web UI version may contain HTML formatting.
Data updates when the site updates. Check the generated field for the last build date.
No authentication, no rate limits, no CORS restrictions. Use it however you want.
