RESTful and experimental API for the doujinboards

Jandapress was named JCE (Janda Cheerio Express) and definitely depends on them.
The motivation of this project is to bring you an actionable data related doujin with gather in mind.

The problem

You enjoy consume doujin sites to build web applications. There are a lot sites that have effort especially pururin, simply-hentai and etc, not official api available nor public resource that can be used for everyone. Instead making lot of abstraction and enumerating them manually, You can rely on jandapress to make less of pain. The current state is FREE to use, meant all anonymous usage is allowed no aunthentication required and CORS was enabled.

The solution

Features

• Gather the most doujin sites
• Objects taken that are consistent structure, almost
• Objects taken is re-appended to make extendable
• All in one: get, search, and random methods
• In the future we may implement JWT authentication
• Pure scraping, except nh sigh..

Prerequisites

NOTE: NodeJS 16.x or higher

To handle several requests from each web, You will also need Redis for persistent caching, free tier is available on Redis Labs, You can also choose another provider as we using keyv Key-value storage with support for multiple backends. All data must be stored in <Buffer> here.

Installation

Rename .env.schema to .env and fill the value with your own

# railway, fly.dev, heroku, vercel or any free service, NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN should be true
RAILWAY = sinkaroid

# default port
PORT = 3000

# backend storage, default is redis, if not set it will consume memory storage
REDIS_URL = redis://default:somenicepassword@redis-666.c10.us-east-6-6.ec666.cloud.redislabs.com:1337

# ttl expire cache (in X hour)
EXPIRE_CACHE = 1

# nhentai strategy
# default is true which is assign to request on IP instead of nhentai.net with cloudflare
# if you have instance like vps you need chromium or firefox installed and set it to false
NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN = true

# you must set COOKIE if NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN is false, read the jandapress docs 
COOKIE = "cf_clearance=l7RsUjiZ3LHAZZKcM7BcCylwD2agwPDU7l9zkg8MzPo-1676044652-0-250"

# you must set USER_AGENT if NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN is false, read the jandapress docs
USER_AGENT = "jandapress/1.0.5 Node.js/16.9.1"

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/sinkaroid/jandapress:latest
docker run -p 3000:3000 -d ghcr.io/sinkaroid/jandapress:latest

Docker (your own)

docker run -d \
  --name=jandapress \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e REDIS_URL='redis://default:somenicepassword@redis-666.c10.us-east-6-6.ec666.cloud.redislabs.com:1337' \
  -e EXPIRE_CACHE='1' \
  -e NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN='false' \
  -e COOKIE='cf_clearance=AbcDefGhijY7RYSKv3YeJUjrI5xQ2Uc-666-0-250' \
  -e USER_AGENT='jandapress/1.0.5 Node.js/16.9.1' \

Manual

git clone https://github.com/sinkaroid/jandapress.git

• Install dependencies
  • npm install / yarn install
• Jandapress production
  • npm run start:prod
• Jandapress testing and hot reload
  • npm run start:dev

Nhentai Guide

The problem

https://nhentai.net was Clouflare protection enabled, for default jandapress use real IP address to bypass the protection, but sometimes even it's from IP address the /api path return error that means admins or their maintainer don't allow us to request from the IP address.

The solution

You will need instance such as VPS and install Chrome or Chromium or Firefox, You have to set NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN to false, set COOKIE and USER_AGENT. We'll simulate the request with tough-cookie and http-cookie-agent

• set NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN to false in .env file
• open browser and go to https://nhentai.net
• verify you are human
• open devtools and set custom user agent
• reload the page and wait cloudflare again
• open devtools and go to network tab and request
• get the cf_clearance value and set it to COOKIE in .env file
• set the user agent to USER_AGENT in .env file
• test that your cookie is working npm run test:cf
  • it should return 200 status code otherwise watch your step

The documentation said and correct me if I'm wrong:

This cookie expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity by the end user. The cookie contains information related to the calculation of Cloudflare’s proprietary bot score and, when Anomaly Detection is enabled on Bot Management, a session identifier.

└── https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals

You will need to make your cookie is not expired otherwise manual update is required, it can be with set interval or cron job to automate your request.

Running tests

Jandapress testing

Start the production server

npm run start:prod

Running development server

npm run start:dev

Check the whole sites, It's available for scraping or not

npm run test

Check nhentai It's under cloudflare protection or not

npm run test:cf

Generating playground like swagger from apidoc definition

npm run build:apidoc

To running other tests, you can see object scripts in file package.json

Frequently asked questions

Q: The website response is slow

That's unfortunate, This repository was opensource already, You can host and deploy Jandapress with your own instance. Any fixes and improvements will updating to this repo.

Q: I dont want to host my own instance

That's unfortunate, Hit the "Sponsor this project" button, any kind of donations will helps me to funding the development.
