Sometimes The home route just gives empty data.

[JayadityaGit]

Describe the bug

it is not able to fetch the data like trending etc , instead it just gives an empty array in the home route (This happening frequently, it is dissaperaing in the next reload).

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Additional context

The bug not appearing all the time, but it is becoming frequent....

I will have this bug on hold for a while. If the array is empty a times then there maybe some other problem. If this becomes even more frequent then I'll try to resolve it. What do you say @JayadityaGit?

First of all thanks man for creating this api, my main motivation is to build an anime website, for that I learned web development (MERN) ,so coming to the question i really want to understand this web scraping can you suggest a resource so I can build my anime web scrapper. I know it is using cheerio and axios , but I feel overwhelmed looking at this codebase. Can you help me like giving a roadmap or something. I just want to have control over my scrapper for future issues.

Happy New year 🎊

Basically the code base feels overwhelming because it follows some principles of clean code, hence it's so much modularized. It's really easy to figure out, for every endpoint you send a req to aniwatch's endpoint grabbing the html and extracting the data via cheerio and sending back the json response. Basically that's how most endpoints work in this api.

Here's a resource that may help you understand web scraping

@JayadityaGit I am closing this issue as not planned. If this issue worsens then do open another issue.

No problem, since the release of movie-web.app , I was awe struck by the possibilities, what a streaming platform can do...

Thx for guidance and the resource.
