Is it really happening?

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

If so we will have to change the anime provider

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

Seems like it.

CustardGod avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 CustardGod

Why?

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

DMCA it seems

Every video on the site says "Due to dmca / copyright law the content you're trying to view is unavailble."

CustardGod avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 CustardGod

So it is not official?

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

They probably fix those videos

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

No it's official. Front page of their website says they're closing

: ( Goodbye. It’s finally time for us to use the cliche saying “All good things must come to an end”. It’s rare that we’ll write up an announcement like this in a more serious tone. But due to certain circumstances we'll be closing down masterani.me and stop serving any video links to anime on our website.

We realise that we have built and have an amazing community because of the entertainment that we have in common called anime, so we’ll keep the discussions open for a bit longer so that you can give proper goodbye’s to your fellow fans.

Thank you Masterani.me

Our one and only domain is www.masterani.me any other site/app is pretending to be us, just be aware.

That’s sad :(. We will eventually have to use another API or to create a scrapper

shpetimselaci avatar Mar 07 '19 00:03 shpetimselaci

create a scrapper

I already have a pretty good scraper working https://github.com/vn-ki/anime-downloader. I am rewriting it currently and is planning to create a graphql plugin for it.

It would add the dependency of python, which is a bummer.

@vn-ki I know this is an old thread but have you made any progress with the scraper?

@anthonygedeon it looks like the anime-downloader repo is very well maintained and active ! We could try a revival using anime-downloader as backend.
