Topic: Next-Episode API
Hi!
I have searched in the forum for information if next-episodes have an API available... So far no luck...
So my question is: is there an API available that i can use?

DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".
http://xkcd.com/488/ Re: Next-Episode APIHi I have an applicant that I use to check for TV shows on my server. It would be perfect if I could use the next episodes app on the phone and then the server would know which TV shows or movies that I am interested in. 4 2020-07-25 22:57:23 (edited by some_one 2020-07-25 23:00:13)Re: Next-Episode APIThere are actually a few interesting aspects here: Automation NE is currently built as a GUI service that users can interact with manually, and it does its job well as such. Database Aside from having a decent frontend, NE is -first and foremost, even- also a large and fairly well-curated database. Much like NE is using third-party services like TVMaze, the (again, multi-sourced and curated) data could be used to build other services with. This, of course, may open up possiblities like competitor services being built on it, possibly subverting the premium membership model. No idea what the official stance on sharing data is here. Statistics There are a number of features that show statistical information to users like "time spent watching". There is simply no reason to add such features to the actual site as most of them are way too random, but being able to make them anyways might be nice. So yeah, having some kind of API actually would be a nice feature. What exactly that would look like, no idea, as that would depend on how much you'd actually be willing to expose. Of course it would take quite a bit of work to realize and surely we won't see it anytime soon. Wizard wrote:
Do people actually still use RSS? I mean, there have to be at least some but I have not heard of anyone discovering it within the last 10 years... Re: Next-Episode APIHi! Thank you for the reply! The use cases i am looking for are... 2. Get a list of my favorite movies These can be solved by using Mechanize in python but it is not beautiful at all. There are RSS support but that will not solve the mark/unmark scenario. Since i am using the amazing NE app on android (which support these functions) my idea was to use the same api but maybe it is not ready for that. //Micke Re: Next-Episode APIHi Micke. An open API is not offered for now, though it can always happen if someone wants to develop a widely requested app (like for Apple TV, Roku, Plex etc). Cheers Re: Next-Episode APIHello, I use Plex and would like to develop the API interface between Plex and Next-Episode. I have some experience in implementing API interfaces.

Well for e.g. Youtube, it's more reliant to use the RSS feeds then their api for notifications on new videos etc. Many social media platforms suffers from similar problems because they do many of those operations in batches. Re: Next-Episode APIlowrider wrote:

I'm actually still using it… even plan to integrate NextEpisode's feed(s) into my local workflows. But it seems to be broken at the moment (26 Feb 2021): I'm not getting anything in "Episodes list RSS Feed" and "Episodes list RSS Feed 2". But yes, an API with a python3 CLI ready to go would of course be fantastic. I'd be interested in: current episodes list (aired & unwatched) and upcoming episodes, and a way to mark an episode as watched via API. Re: Next-Episode APIlowrider wrote:
What do you have in mind, like Plex server plugin? Re: Next-Episode APIg371 wrote:
Plex doesn't support new plugins anymore (as far as I could find), so I was only able to work with the Webhook events (https://support.plex.tv/articles/115002267687-webhooks/) on a Node server. 13 2021-03-03 18:11:59 (edited by g371 2021-03-03 18:40:00)Re: Next-Episode APIlowrider wrote:
I see, so basically media.scrobble webhook. Tho issue here could be matching, because using this webhook you can do it just by title, which is not a unique identifier. I'm thinking about writing some service which directly monitors Plex server db for changes. It stores data in com.plexapp.plugins.library.db, which is SQLite db. Table library_sections - libraries; metadata_items - all media info, including year; metadata_item_views - viewed_at column has timestamp when what is viewed. Also there you can extract, for example, themoviedb id, which is unique. So with this it's possible to make your own, more precise webhooks, also with exception handling etc. Re: Next-Episode APIYou get the tvdb_id for shows and the imdb id for movies in the payload (in the Metadata guid), so that's all you need. There should also be a library.new event, but I don't seem to receive these events. Since I don't need this I haven't looked further in getting it to work, otherwise your solution also sounds good :-) Re: Next-Episode APIAny news on a plex addon? Is Plex the best home media manager now that they are concentrating more on streaming vs media server? santah wrote:
