API Documentation

Base URL: https://api.mugitime.cc

All listed routes are GET. Responses include Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. The same handlers also answer on https://mugitime.cc/api/….

Media variants

Each portrait exists in two CDN prefixes under cdn.mugitime.cc. Same id / filename in both; pixels and catalog dimensions differ.

variant=upscaled (default) — mugis_up/. RealESRGAN upscale, short edge resized to the tier targetSize. What the site viewer uses.
variant=original — mugis/. Source crops as extracted (no ESRGAN). Smaller files; native crop resolution.

Quality tiers

Tier is assigned from the original crop's short edge (min of width and height) and stored as cropQuality / API tier. Upscale output targets the matching targetSize.

Tier	Original short edge	Upscale targetSize
S	0–511 px	640 px
M	512–639 px	768 px
L	640–719 px	896 px
XL	720–959 px	960 px
XXL	960–1279 px	1280 px
UHD	1280 px and up	1536 px
