NEN TYPES

Every Hunter channels their aura differently. Click a type to see its users — or query them yourself with ?nen_type=enhancement.

Adding API Key To Your Request

With the convenience of our hassle-free API key generation, accessing the API becomes a seamless and effortless experience.

Discover a Random Hunter

Hit the button — the API will surface a Hunter from the database at random.

What You Get

BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS

Everything you'd expect from a production REST API — filter, sort, paginate, and explore — all without writing a single line of backend code.

⚡

Filter Any Field

Query characters by name, Nen type, state, gender, or any field in the schema using flexible operator syntax.

?nen_type=transmutation&state=alive
↕

Sort Results

Order data by any field, ascending or descending, using a simple comma-separated sort param.

?sort=-createdAt,name
📄

Pagination

Every list endpoint is paginated. Response includes total count and page info so you can build infinite scroll or classic paging.

?page=2&limit=10
🎲

Random Endpoint

Hit /characters/random or /groups/random to surface a random entry — great for discovery features and easter eggs.

GET /characters/random
🔎

Field Projection

Only fetch the fields you need. Reduce payload size by specifying a comma-separated list of fields.

?fields=name,nen_type,image
🔗

Relational Data

Characters include their groups, relatives, and images as populated references — not just raw IDs.

groups, relatives, image

Simple to Integrate

One request is all it takes. Pass your API key in the header and get back a structured JSON response — no SDKs required.
