 | `erome` | `amateur-homemade` | no | no | HTML album scraper with hot/new feeds, keyword search, and uploader-slug shortcuts (`uploader:<name>`). |
 | `fikfap` | `tiktok` | yes | yes (thumbs only) | JSON-API provider for fikfap.com (TikTok-style swipe short clips); anonymous auth via a client-generated `Authorization-Anonymous` UUID header (no real login needed); listing via `GET api.fikfap.com/posts?sort=new\|trending\|random&amount=N&afterId=<lastPostId>` (cursor pagination — page N costs N sequential requests); search via `GET search?q=` (single fixed-size batch, no pagination — page 2+ returns empty); hashtag feeds via `GET hashtags/label/{label}/posts` and creator feeds via `GET profile/username/{user}/posts`, both also cursor-paginated; `tag:`/`hashtag:`/`#` and `user:`/`uploader:` query prefixes route directly; `categories` option exposes a small curated static hashtag list (no full catalog endpoint exists anonymously); `video.url` is the `fikfap.com/post/{id}` page (a client-rendered SPA, not yt-dlp-resolvable on its own); `videoStreamUrl` from the JSON response is sent directly as `formats[0].url` (signed Bunny CDN HLS `.m3u8`, ~24h token expiry) with `httpHeaders: {Referer: https://fikfap.com/}` — Hot Tub clients apply a format's `http_headers` across the whole HLS playback session (manifest, sub-playlists, and segments), so no proxying of the media itself is needed; thumbnails have no per-field header mechanism, so they're proxied via `/proxy/fikfap-thumb/...` to inject the same Referer; `get_uploader` implemented (`fikfap:<username>` IDs) using `GET profile/username/{user}`. |
