 | `camsoda` | `live-cams` | no | no | Live-cam provider for camsoda.com (chaturbate-style — `live` performers streaming now, `video.url` = the room page, `is_live=true`, no `formats`). camsoda.com is hard Cloudflare-protected: direct requests and yt-dlp both get HTTP 403, and FlareSolverr was unreliable during development, so the live-browse API is reached through the shared requester's Jina mirror fallback (`r.jina.ai/http://...`, `X-Return-Format: html`); Jina rate-limits per IP, so the provider caches each fetched feed URL for 60s (and serves stale items on a 429 rather than emptying the feed), and a single-provider build (`HOT_TUB_PROVIDER=camsoda`) validates most cleanly (one fetch at a time). Endpoint (found in the non-CF static `main.js` bundle): `GET https://www.camsoda.com/api/v1/browse/react{route}?p=N` returning a body with a top-level `userList` array (Jina wraps it in `<pre>`, so the provider slices out the `{...}` and parses it with `serde_json::Value`, like the chaturbate provider). Per-cam fields: `username`→id + room URL (`/{username}`), `subjectText`→title (html-decoded, falls back to `displayName`), `displayName`→uploader, `connectionCount`→views (string or number tolerated), `thumbUrl`→thumb (direct `media.livemediahost.com` CDN, no proxy/referer), `status` (skip `offline`), `vr`/`private` surfaced as tags. Category option `category` uses verified `browse/react` routes — `all`(featured)/`girls`/`trans`/`couples`/`voyeur-cams`/`new` (`/male` is NOT a path route, camsoda gates male via `gender-hide`); `cat:`/`category:` prefixes and a bare keyword matching a category id route there too. Search: `GET browse/react/search/{dashed-query}?sortByConnection=1` (single connection-sorted result set, no real paging). Playback: `video.url` is the live room page; the room and the token-gated edge HLS (`*.livemediahost.com`) are both Cloudflare-protected, so HLS can't be resolved server-side and no `formats` are populated — yt-dlp has a `Camsoda` live extractor that resolves the room on a non-CF-blocked client, and `check.py` reports the sandbox's CF 403s as expected warnings (`www.camsoda.com` is in its CF allowlist), not errors. The earlier recorded-`/media` JSON scrape was replaced because clips were token-gated/non-playable; live cams are the site's actual product. No proxy needed. |
 | `xvideos` | `mainstream-tube` | no | no | HTML scraper for xvideos.com; handles two card formats: homepage (`div.thumb-block[data-id][data-eid]`) uses `p.title a[title]` + `data-pvv` on img, best-of-month page uses `div.thumb-block.video[data-video=JSON]` with `div.title a` text + `previewVideo` JSON key; thumbnails at `thumb-cdn77.xvideos-cdn.com` / `thumbs-gcore.xvideos-cdn.com` (no proxy needed); latest: `/` (page 1) / `/new/{N-1}` (page N≥2); best-of-month: `/best/{YYYY-MM}` (previous calendar month), page N: `/best/{YYYY-MM}/{N-1}`; search: `/?k={query}` / `/?k={query}&p={N-1}` (0-indexed); tag shortcuts: `/tags/{slug}/{N-1}`; category shortcuts: `/c/{Name}-{ID}/{N-1}` (38 hardcoded categories); `cat:`, `tag:`, `uploader:` query prefix routing; yt-dlp resolves `video.url` natively (XVideos extractor → HLS formats); CDN preview mp4 in `preview` field; no proxy needed. |
 | `wowxxx` | `studio-network` | no | no | HTML scraper for wow.xxx premium aggregator; default feed `/latest-updates/`, page 2 `/{N}/` suffix (for example `/latest-updates/2/`), search `/search/{query}/relevance/` with the same page suffix; supports `site:`/`studio:`/`network:`/`model:`/`pornstar:`/`tag:`/`cat:` query shortcuts to direct archive routes; list cards expose preview clips (`cast.wow.xxx/preview/*.mp4`), thumbnails (`img.wow.xxx/.../medium@2x/1.jpg`), duration, rating, views, site (as uploader), and model tags; `video.url` is the detail page URL and yt-dlp resolves HTML5 MP4 formats dynamically; no proxy needed. |
+| `xxxtik` | `tiktok` | yes | no | JSON-API short-form aggregator for xxxtik.com — every post is a moderated repost of a RedGifs clip, so the real media backend is the public **RedGifs v2 API**, not xxxtik itself (new pattern; no other provider currently resolves through a third-party media API). Listing API (`xxxtik-api-iw98m.ondigitalocean.app`, found by grepping the Angular `main-es2015.js` bundle): `GET /post/new`, `/post/top/{week,month,year,all}`, `/post/tag/{name}`, `/post/creator/{username}` — all **cursor**-paginated (`?cursor={lastItemId}&limit=N`; the `cursor` is the numeric `id` of the last item from the previous batch, not an offset/count — reaching page N walks N sequential requests, mirroring `fikfap`'s `fetch_cursor_page`). `GET /search?query=Q` returns tag/profile autocomplete suggestions only (no posts), so free-text search is routed through it to resolve a `Tag`/`Creator` target before a second listing call; `tag:`/`category:`/`cat:` and `user:`/`uploader:`/`creator:` query prefixes skip that lookup. Each post's `source` field is a `redgifs.com/watch/{id}` URL; the provider fetches a short-lived anonymous bearer token from `POST api.redgifs.com/v2/auth/temporary` (cached, refreshed once on a 401) and resolves `GET api.redgifs.com/v2/gifs/{id}` (bounded to 8-way concurrency via `buffer_unordered`) for the real `media.redgifs.com/*.mp4` + poster, both fetchable with zero auth/Referer. `video.url` is the xxxtik page (`https://xxxtik.com/feed/{uuid}`, not yt-dlp-resolvable — Angular SPA, generic extractor fails), with `formats` populated from the resolved redgifs mp4; tags merge xxxtik's own tags with RedGifs' tags. 20 curated tags exposed via `categories` (xxxtik has ~62k tags total, too many to background-load). `/api/uploaders` works via `GET /user/by-username/{name}` + `/post/creator/{name}`, but xxxtik's "creator" accounts are inconsistent: some (e.g. `dlhoodninja`, `besttits`) return real posts matching their profile `_count.posts`; others with a nonzero `_count.posts` (e.g. `bigboobsgw`, count 472) return an empty `/post/creator/` list — likely synthetic curation accounts (`name@default` emails) rather than real uploaders. The provider degrades gracefully (returns the profile with `videos: []`, no error) rather than guessing which accounts are "real". No proxy needed — all media/thumb URLs are publicly fetchable with no Referer or auth. |
