Love it!

But is there a way to add searching for tv shows & episodes and their various streaming/purchase options?

bulv1ne commented 10 years ago

The data is fetched from http://canistream.it which I do not own or am related to. I'm afraid that is not possible until they would add it themselves.

ehoch commented 10 years ago

No, I know. But they have TV show & episode support on their website front end. I was curious if you could figure out a way to access that data via json / the unofficial api you tapped into.

bulv1ne commented 10 years ago

I don't see the TV shows on their website, can you give me a link?

bulv1ne commented 10 years ago

Never mind, found it. I'll see what I can do.

ehoch commented 10 years ago

Wow. You're the man.

How are you figuring out this API? Is there a way to add things like searching by external IMDB for movies and TVDB for tv shows? I see their iframes for publishers allow that so I'm curious if that's using the API..

bulv1ne commented 10 years ago

I was bored and this seemed like a fun project. First I thought parsing the html, but then I saw that Javascript was making queries to an API. I guessed a bit with that API and it worked.

Search is more difficult to figure out since that api call isn't made so much.

If you feel like helping, you could do a pull request. I already figured out 1 request: http://www.canistream.it/tv/api_query?seriesId=75760&seasonNumber=1&episodeNumber=1&subtype=streaming This series id is from How I Met Your Mother.

Wow you rock. I need to go look through the requests in my browser to see what I can dig up. Didn't realize the JS was doing this.

I'd help with PR but I'm actually a Ruby man. Was just using your API endpoints. Thank you. You rock!
