Movie download API for automatic movie recap script

[drakos]

Hey everyone!
I'm creating a bot in python that automatically creates movie recaps like the ones flooding YouTube.
It's doing pretty good, I can get any length video (+20 minutes of video) with high quality tts and effects in under 30 minutes.
There is only one thing that is bothering me. The way I'm downloading the movies programmatically is by scraping 1337x and getting the torrent into my qBittorent (all automatically handle by python).
The download speed is pretty bad and most of the time I have several options of torrents to download for one movie and I have to select the one that is right, so that is requires my intervention.
Also, in terms of scaling the bot, if I ever want to host is in a VPS, with my actual code, it will get messy.
Any suggestions of APIs where you can get download links or streaming links of movies? Maybe using the TMDB code of the movie or similar.
Feel free to suggest features for the bot also, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance!
(I don't know if this thread is marked with the correct topic, I'm kinda new)

Do you have the repo url or the doc page for it? Cant seem to find it

i was suggesting that you scrape thepiratebay instead of 1337x.

Jackett is great. Combines all torrent sites

Ohh gotcha. The actual problem is not the torrent site I think, the problem for me is the "scraping" part. Seems tedious to do that for every movie and sometimes I run into some errors

also be careful how you download, ive been banned from contabo once because of this.

Looks good! I have to look into it, thanks. As said, my issue is not the torrent side I choose for these, my issue is more on the "scraping" side that seems tedious for each movie

Didnt think about that one. Any tips? The scaling part more for the future as first I need to have everything set-up properly in local

Have you tried direct download instead of torrent ?
You will have direct link for download which are checked regularly and also better download speed.
Search for best warez site on google and you will find plenty.
You can also debrid the link to download it faster with alldebrid for exemple.

Just stick to local for now, you could deploy on an offshore dmca ignored VPS later.
about ur hiccup you could change the way you find the movie itself. try by filtering by upload teams like Etv or somthing also by video quality. you will get more filtred search results.

Yes I have tried that, that was my first idea instead of downloading the torrent. I found issues scraping and finding a good quality streaming websites that let you download the videos. If the page doesn't give the option to download the video, it pretty hard to scrape it because of the iframe where the movie loads in. What sites do you suggest? Thanks for the reply

Hosted a streaming site previously in Flokinet and didnt have any issues, might go that way.
Thats a good idea, but anyway I would have to choose the torrent manually as there are many options of the same movie (like extended versions etc..)

Why would I use proxies? And I didnt stayed consistent enough to actually test the API, worked fine but I dont really know if it affects anything views related, sorry!

i may provide you direct download links for each moviee if we could partner

Already manage to create a script that downloads them for me, but thanks!
