Automated streaming Anime website

Updates :
I managed to reach what I wanted, everything is now continuously automated end-to-end (new entries, episode sync, embeds/subs sync). Site is fast and SEO is performing way better than expected because I added a smart fill system: I can render pages even if I don’t fully have the data yet, then fetch/sync the missing pieces on-demand when a user or Google crawler requests it.

Before, I was using GitHub + GitHub Actions + Vercel deploys, but I don’t like it anymore (too many limits / friction).

Sup guys
I’m building an anime streaming site for non-English-speaking countries like Vietnam. Getting English embeds is easy, but finding good non-English subtitle sources is much harder, so I usually scrape them from other sites.
The site’s goal is to be fully automated pulling new anime info from APIs like TMDB or AniList and auto-updating embed links from existing hosts (I don’t want to host videos myself). The only big challenge is matching the exact episodes between the API data and the scraped embed links. I tries to build it from scratch using ai dev tools like cursor or else but ai have limitations and can not scrap or ...

So I’ve got a few questions:
  • Should I use WordPress with plugins/themes or build everything from scratch?
  • What’s the best way to match episode data from APIs with scraped links?
  • Any advice on automating updates and subtitles without hosting videos?
Would love to hear your thoughts or experience any tips help a lot!
Build it from scratch for better automation and control. Match episodes using title + season + episode number, and automate updates by pulling API data and scraping subtitle/host sites regularly.
