I am interested in adding another metadata provider to support uncensored videos along with random studios which aren't on javlibrary / r18, but I don't think javdb.com is the one. The tags seem to be almost exactly the same as javlibrary. And much of the metadata seems to be in Japanese, whereas I'm only really interested in English.
I don't think one exists hence why I suggested javdb. It would mostly act as a fall-back option for certain titles that aren't available. JAVdb unfortunately is the best (and only) option. And as for the metadata, there's an English language option which translates most of the metadata (most importantly the tags). The only tags that are in Japanese regardless whether you've turned on the English option are studio names and performer names. Performers can easily just be cross-referenced by their Kanji name and studio names might have to do manual translating for the smaller unknown studios.
There are certain titles that are not available on both r18 and javlib, a few examples:
122518_406 (exactly with the underscore) 081815-951 (exactly with the dash) FC2-1751646
However they are instantly found in the first result when searching on JavDB. I might add that JavDB is the best source for JAV imo (and not just cause of the magnet links) but their tags are really detailed and they have some great filters on there.
But most importantly they also include results like above, which are usually uncensored JAV from studios that use a different naming scheme. I don't think JavDB has a REST api of any kind so it would probably be scraping through html, however I would strongly recommend to add it even as a fall-back option for certain results that can't be found through r18/javlib.
