Sorry for the late reply. The app stopped working because of a problem with Consumet but I am trying to find alternatives. And what is your website and how are you planning to host it?

DarkCrypt commented 1 year ago

@BeamlakAschalew I was hoping Consumet was going to be awesome but not if it continues to have issues. I've read others suggesting to self host it instead of running off of their instance. I think they also have rate limits in place with their instance. Maybe you're already self hosting?

I'm also still continuously looking for more api sources but keep coming up short. All I can seem to find is sources for torrents but that's not what I'm looking for. Maybe you're going to have to go back to scraping instead?

Are you rererring to the Self hosting as in hosting the script using Vercel? If so, I was already doing that, it's the "watch" endpoint that stopped working. But can you send me the forum you saw this discussion?

And scraping is hard and not free and I have to bypass captcha's every time it's not worth it. Plus many of the sites use Consumet so it's pointless.

Yeah, the suggested self hosting is by using Vercel or one of the other methods mentioned in Consumet's README. But you're already doing that like you said. If I looked at your code better I would've seen that, my bad. I was looking through Consumet's issues when I read the suggestion, all four issues were posted for FlixHQ: #310, #375, #417, and #443.

I understand your reasons to not want to scrape but I don't know what the expenses are financially. I know this isn't fail safe but could you use CloudStream's extensions?

I did find more api's but they all seem to be embeds. So far all I've been able to find is Consumet, torrent sources, embed apis, file hosts, and CloudStream extensions. Basically the usual stuff, not sure what else there is. The only other thing I can think of at this time is creating your own api?

@BeamlakAschalew This problem was resolved 4 days ago on Consumet. On your hosted instance, be sure to delete your .lock files and reinstall packages. Alternatively, you can write a script (using GitHub actions or Docker) to automatically update and deploy your hosted instance whenever there are updates. Flixhq recently went down due to them changing their ani-scrape technique. And there will never be a permanent solution to this problem. If you don't want to deal with that issue anymore, I recommend you start hosting your own source files (really risky).

Thank you for notifying!

Deleted and rehosted https://github.com/consumet/api.consumet.org on Vercel but the watch endpoint is still not working
