New: Pixiv Tracker — structured SFW illustration rankings & search from Japan's biggest art community

What it does

Pixiv Tracker pulls the Pixiv (ピクシブ) illustration rankings and keyword search as clean, structured data — rank, title, artist, view and bookmark counts, tags, thumbnails and direct artwork URLs. It's SFW / all-ages only and needs no login and no Pixiv API key. Pixiv is the world's largest illustration community but almost invisible to Western tooling, so this surfaces IP-popularity and illustrator-discovery signal you can't get from any English-language source.

Who it's for

Anime and game teams tracking which characters and IP are heating up, talent scouts hunting rising illustrators before they break, and researchers studying Japanese visual-culture trends.

Sample fields / output

  • rank / previous_rank (momentum)
  • illust_id, title, page_count, create_date
  • artist_name, artist_id
  • view_count, bookmark_count, rating_count
  • tags
  • thumbnail_url, pixiv_url
  • is_sfw (always true), scraped_at

Example use cases

  • Track which IP and characters are trending in Japan on a daily ranking refresh.
  • Scout illustrators by engagement momentum before they break out.
  • Build an anime-art trend dataset for licensing, recommendation or market research.
