  | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['results']['episodes'][0]['server_ids'])")

# Step 2: Get servers using that server_ids
curl -s "https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/servers?ids=$SERVER_IDS" | python3 -m json.tool

Expected Output:

{
  "success": true,
  "results": [
    {
      "type": "sub",

Note: Servers are HD-1 (sub), Vidstream-2 (sub), VidCloud-1 (sub). Use link_id for streaming.

Get Stream URL

# Get stream URL from a link_id
LINK_ID="MTF1dkFtaW9BRTZPbzJJRElFZUZrOWdjeldjOERLaWNMMXFNbVB3WUJqOHZGS2FSWVgvbVJraVpIV1dQRjRoN01hOFUvYmxsWXFYNGtiR0h5OWdGQWc9PQ"

    "skipData": {

Tips & Best Practices

Rate Limiting

// Add delays between requests to avoid rate limiting
async function fetchWithDelay(requests, delayMs = 500) {
  const results = [];
  for (const req of requests) {
    const result = await fetch(req);
    results.push(await result.json());
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delayMs));
  }
  return results;
}

Cache Responses Locally

// Simple in-memory cache for repeated requests
const cache = new Map();

async function cachedFetch(url, ttlMs = 60000) {
  const cached = cache.get(url);
  if (cached && Date.now() - cached.time < ttlMs) {
    return cached.data;
  }

  const res = await fetch(url);
  const data = await res.json();
  cache.set(url, { data, time: Date.now() });
  return data;
}

Pick Sub or Dub Servers

// Filter servers by type
const subServers = servers.filter(s => s.type === 'sub');
const dubServers = servers.filter(s => s.type === 'dub');

// Prefer specific server
const preferred = servers.find(s => s.name === 'HD-1' && s.type === 'sub')
               || servers.find(s => s.type === 'sub')
               || servers[0];

Using the M3U8 Proxy (CORS)

// Always use the proxy for browser playback
const rawUrl = 'https://example.com/playlist.m3u8';
const proxiedUrl = `https://anikototvapi.vercel.app/api/stream/proxy?url=${encodeURIComponent(rawUrl)}`;

// Use with HLS.js
hls.loadSource(proxiedUrl);
hls.attachMedia(videoElement);

Error Recovery

// Try multiple servers if one fails
async function resilientStream(animeId, episode) {
  const epRes = await fetch(`${BASE}/episodes/${animeId}`);
  const episodes = (await epRes.json()).results.episodes;
  const ep = episodes.find(e => e.episode_no === episode);

  const srvRes = await fetch(`${BASE}/servers?ids=${ep.server_ids}`);
  const servers = (await srvRes.json()).results;

  for (const server of servers) {
    try {
      const resolveRes = await fetch(`${BASE}/stream/resolve?id=${server.link_id}`);
      const resolved = (await resolveRes.json()).results;
      if (resolved.url) return resolved;
    } catch (err) {
      console.warn(`Server ${server.name} failed, trying next...`);
    }
  }

  throw new Error('All servers failed');
}
