Lets also add EZTV to the discussion as well
@thangngoc89
Alright, so are there any existing EZTV scrapers out there? IIRC the old popcorntime.io use to use EZTV for TV Shows.
Actually now that I think about it eztv isn't that good of an idea since the website doesnt show the seeder count. We could determine that at runtime but that would be costly. I'll look into how existing strem.io providers are doing this
There is yts and seztv available in strem.io. We can use it instead.
As far as I know, eztv is the best source for tv shows
We're already using yts
Is there anything that can be salvaged from the old popcorntime eztv TV show scrapper?
Is there a way to get the seeder count of the torrents on eztv?
Hmm, seems like the 'Alternate Releases' section shows the seeders and leechers for the alternate episode meaning they are recorded. Ill do some more digging to see if it shows up anywhere else.
This means that the crawler/scraper would have to navigate to each link and scrape each page (at runtime). This would lead to a suboptimal experience. In strem.io's case, they're doing this on the server, according to @thangngoc89. We could find a way to make requests to their servers.

It's well documented here. https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-addons
About EZTV and YTS, there is Popcorn times plugin that fetch content from thoes sites https://github.com/JCB9090/pct-addon
You can spawn a instance of it locally or use a hosted version of it
Well, looks like pct addon is just a wrapper of official popcorn-api https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-api
https://github.com/ChrisAlderson/eztv-api-pt
Looks like thats what we're looking for.
https://zooqle.com is a provider I think we might be interested in.
@amilajack and, it looks like they have a nice API https://zooqle.com/help/api.html
@ZakariaRidouh is it possible to query using an imdb id?
I looked more into zooqle and I found that their seeder counts dont really beat ours. Dont think there's a point of adding it at the moment. Let me know if you think otherwise.
we can use this thread for discussion
