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 APIsome_one wrote:
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:
