SFW / Content Filtering

By default, all content is returned. Append ?sfw=true to any listing endpoint to automatically strip out NSFW-tagged titles (Hentai, Erotica, Smut). Supported on: /home, /search, /filter, /browse. On the /:id endpoint it returns a 404 instead of data.

GET /api/manga/search?q=elf&sfw=true

Image Proxy System

All cover and img URLs in API responses are already routed through /api/image?url=.... You do not need to call it manually — just drop the URLs into <img src="..."> as-is.

Why is this needed? Browsers block images from external CDNs that set Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin. The proxy fetches images server-side and re-serves them with CORP: cross-origin + a 24-hour cache.
