The application might not work from time to time (API issue)

[ttdyce]

Seems nhentai has changed their site (added DDoS protection?) and the API client is not working now.
Would need to update this application to fix this issue.

Tested with the api endpoint: curl https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search\?query\=language:chinese

Expected to receive JSON response, currently some html for redirect after 5s

after some research, should be fixable. Briefly tested ok with @zhkrb's repo, will focus on his solution. 😵‍💫

At the time, the ddos protection is gone and the api is back to work. Though, I think the ddos protection page may pop up again from time to time.

API resumed normal now

The idea that NHentai puts DDoS protection like this on their API just feels bizarre to me. I mean I kinda get why but it just feels silly

I also tried a wget command and it gave me a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error. Same as with your NHAPI repo:

~$ wget https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search -O /tmp/index.html

Some update for those who are interested: My local dev is almost done for this issue (by adding a hidden WebView), I will soon release the new version after some testing.

Should be fixed in 3.3.0, see: https://install.appcenter.ms/users/ttdyce/apps/nhviewer-1/distribution_groups/public

Current not working, checked from app log: Unexpected response code 403

checked the actual behavior in chrome:

1. GET https://nhentai.net/api/ return 403
2. some javascript triggered to POST the same url, returned 200 and the data in the response body. The process takes ~3.5s

Required further check for the issue

[ttdyce]

Currently not working, server API returned code 404, with content = {"error": "does not exist"} tested url = https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search?query=chinese

[ttdyce]

Currently not working, server API returned code 404, with content = {"error": "does not exist"} tested url = https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search?query=chinese

Checked again that API is back to working now.

[ttdyce]

Currently not working again, 404 with {"error": "does not exist"} tested url = https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search?query=chinese but https://nhentai.net/api/galleries/search?query=english works

is it checking the query keywords? need to come up with some alternative keywords for it.
