docs: update all docs with real live API data

- All examples now use real responses from live API
- Streaming flow tested end-to-end (episodeList -> servers -> stream)
- All code examples verified working
- Real titles: Wistoria, Witch Hat Atelier, Road of Naruto, etc.
- Real stream URLs from megaplay.buzz
- Real CDN URLs from anipixcdn.co
- Fixed streaming endpoints: proper JSON/HTML parsing

## Caching
## Streaming Flow
The API uses an in-memory cache with a 5-minute TTL:
```javascript
// Cache key format: {endpoint}_{id}
// Examples:
// "episodes_naruto-shippuden"
// "stream_MTF1dkFtaW9..."
// "servers_SlNVT25..."
```
/api/episodes/:slug
↓
Returns: server_ids, animeId, totalEpisodes
↓
/api/servers?ids={server_ids}
↓
Returns: link_id, type (sub/dub), name (HD-1, Vidstream-2, etc.)
↓
/api/stream?id={link_id}
↓
Returns: url (stream link), skipData (intro/outro timestamps)
```
**Characteristics:**
- Stored in a JavaScript `Map`
- TTL: 5 minutes (300,000 ms)
- Reset on server restart (serverless = every cold start)
- Key format: `{type}_{identifier}`
## Caching Strategy
## Source Site Structure
- **Type:** In-memory Map
- **TTL:** 5 minutes (300,000ms)
- **Key:** Full request URL
- **Behavior:** First request fetches from source, subsequent requests served from cache
- **Reset:** TTL resets on each access
- **Eviction:** Automatic when TTL expires
The API scrapes data from `anikototv.to`:
## Anti-Bot Protection
| Page | URL Pattern | Data |
|------|-------------|------|
| Home | `/home` | Spotlight, trending, popular |
| Watch | `/watch/{slug}` | Anime info, anime ID |
| Episode | `/watch/{slug}/ep-{n}` | Episode data |
| Search | `/filter?keyword={q}` | Search results |
| Genre | `/genre/{name}` | Genre listings |
| Type | `/type/{name}` | Type listings |
| Status | `/status/{name}` | Status listings |
| A-Z | `/az-list/{letter}` | Alphabetical list |
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.
**AJAX Endpoints:**
| Endpoint | URL Pattern | Data |
|----------|-------------|------|
| Episodes | `/ajax/episode/list/{animeId}` | Episode list HTML |
| Servers | `/ajax/server/list?servers={ids}` | Server list HTML |
| Stream | `/ajax/server?get={linkId}` | Stream URL JSON |
## ID Mappings
Genre IDs (partial):
```javascript
{
action: 1,
adventure: 2,
comedy: 4,
demons: 5,
drama: 8,
fantasy: 10,
isekai: 19,
romance: 22,
shounen: 27,
supernatural: 37
}
```
Type IDs:
```javascript
{
movie: 1,
music: 2,
ona: 3,
ova: 4,
special: 5,
tv: 6
}
```
Status IDs:
```javascript
{
"currently-airing": 1,
"finished-airing": 2,
"not-yet-aired": 3
}
```
**Solution:** The API properly passes `data-ids` to the server list endpoint and parses the JSON response to extract the required attributes.
