Subject: [PATCH] docs: Complete documentation overhaul with live API data +
bug fixes
Documentation (5800+ lines total):
- endpoints.md: All 43 endpoints documented with real response examples,
param tables, response patterns, common workflows, error formats
- streaming.md: Complete streaming workflow guide with HLS.js/Plyr/Video.js
integration, M3U8 proxy explanation, error handling
- examples.md: Working code examples in cURL, JS fetch, Python requests,
Node.js axios, HTML/JS player integration (2240 lines)
- architecture.md: Full project structure, request flow diagrams, caching
strategy, mirror failover, security, deployment notes
- index.md: Overview with quick start, feature highlights, endpoint tables
Bug fixes:
- episodeList.extractor: Parse JSON response before Cheerio (was passing
raw JSON string as HTML, causing escaped quotes in IDs)
- episodeListAjax.extractor: Same JSON parsing fix
- topAnimeRankings.controller: Fix JSDoc and default sort from top to day
(actual values are day/week/month, not top/newest)
- apiRoutes.js: Fix OpenAPI spec sort description for top-rankings
Tests: 35/35 passing

+// SECTION 6 — MIRROR FAILOVER STRATEGY
+// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-The source site monitors AJAX responses for missing `data-ep-id` and `data-link-id` attributes. If these are missing in the `/ajax/server/list` response, it triggers a reCAPTCHA challenge.
+/**
+ * The API scrapes from a network of 5 mirror domains, all serving the same
+ * content. The mirror.helper.js module manages automatic failover:
+ *
+ * ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+ * │ MIRROR DOMAINS │
+ * ├──────┬──────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────────────────────┤
+ * │ # │ Domain │ Role │ Notes │
+ * ├──────┼──────────────────┼──────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
+ * │ 1 │ anikototv.to │ Primary │ Default fallback │
+ * │ 2 │ anikoto.cz │ Regional │ Central Europe │
+ * │ 3 │ anikoto.me │ Short TLD │ Compact URL │
+ * │ 4 │ anikoto.net │ Network │ Alternative DNS │
+ * │ 5 │ anikototv.se │ Nordic │ Sweden / Nordic region │
+ * └──────┴──────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
+ *
+ * Failover Algorithm:
+ *
+ * 1. On request, select the next mirror (round-robin pointer).
+ * 2. Attempt HTTP GET via Axios with 5-second timeout.
+ * 3. On success (2xx):
+ * • Cache the successful mirror domain (TTL: 1 hour).
+ * • Return HTML to the caller.
+ * 4. On failure (4xx/5xx/timeout/network error):
+ * • Log the failure.
+ * • Move to the next mirror in the list.
+ * • Repeat steps 2-4 up to 5 attempts (one per mirror).
+ * 5. If all mirrors fail:
+ * • Throw an error propagated to the controller.
+ * • Controller returns { success: false, error: "..." }.
+ *
+ * Mirror Health Cache:
+ * • Key: domain string
+ * • Value: timestamp of last successful fetch
+ * • TTL: 1 hour
+ * • Effect: Recently successful mirrors are tried first.
+ *
+ * Edge Cases:
+ * • Circular failover prevents infinite loops (max 5 attempts).
+ * • Timeout per mirror: 5000ms (configurable).
+ * • All mirrors share the same origin content; no consistency risk.
+ */
-**Solution:** The API properly passes `data-ids` to the server list endpoint and parses the JSON response to extract the required attributes.

+ * │ Mirror health │ 60 minutes │
+ * │ Home Page │ 5 minutes │
+ * │ Schedule │ 10 minutes │
+ * │ Watch Order │ 60 minutes │
+ * └──────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────┘
+ *
+ * Cache Key Format:
+ * `{endpoint}:{normalized_params}`
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ * "animeInfo:one-piece"
+ * "search:naruto"
+ * "episodeList:one-piece-100"
+ * "filter:action:page-2"
+ *
+ * LRU Configuration:
+ * • Max entries: Unbounded (Map-based, no eviction by count).
+ * • Eviction: TTL-based only (per-endpoint expiration).
+ * • Storage: JavaScript Map (in-process memory).
+ * • Persistence: None (lost on cold start; acceptable for scraping).
+ *
+ * Cache Flow:
+ *
+ * Controller
+ * │
+ * ▼
+ * cache.get(key)
+ * │
+ * ├── HIT → return cached data (no extractor call)
+ * │
+ * └── MISS → call extractor
+ * │
+ * ▼
+ * cache.set(key, data, ttl)
+ * │
+ * ▼
+ * return data
+ *
+ * Thread Safety:
+ * Node.js is single-threaded per event loop tick. The LRU Cache Map
+ * operations (get/set/delete) are atomic. No locking required.
+ *
+ * Memory Impact:
+ * Average cached entry: ~2 KB JSON.
+ * Typical active entries: ~200–500.
+ * Peak memory: ~1 MB (negligible).
