Are there any good (preferably open) APIs or databases of pronunciation audio files for Chinese/Japanese/Korean languages? I’ve been looking around, but somehow couldn’t find anything other than Forvo or Google Translate. Both are an overkill for me, since I only need data for those languages, and only pronunciations, no translations.

How many words are you looking for? Downloading up to 1000 files per day is free with the Forvo API. And if you need all that many more, it would be fair to pay them.
If a transcription is good enough for you, there are good open-source dictionaries for Chinese, and Korean can be converted syllable-by-syllable because Korean uses an alphabet. Japanese is the only difficulty, since Japanese characters are often pronounced differently according to the context.
