TL;DR

AmiiboAPI is a free REST API that catalogs all official Nintendo Amiibo figures — search by name, character, game series, or type to get details including release dates (US, JP, EU, AU), image URLs, and the games each figure is compatible with. No API key required. The database covers every Amiibo released since the line launched in 2014, including Super Smash Bros. series, Zelda, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and third-party figures.
