Which adult/JAV metadata APIs are you using? Building one — need real feedback

[strong_bae]

Working on a small side project in the adult/JAV data space — curious which metadata APIs you guys are using these days, and what's missing from them? Mostly I'm curious how some sites manage to update their content so fast.

From the publisher side, fast updates matter less than predictable changes. For a localized latest-video page such as our Russian-language feed, I would want immutable video IDs; separate original, romanized and localized titles; stable studio and performer IDs; source provenance and timestamps; cursor-based incremental updates; explicit tombstones for deletions and takedowns; and deterministic pagination.
A daily full snapshot plus a small changelog is easier to recover than webhooks alone. Does your planned API distinguish a source deletion from temporary unavailability? And are language variants stored as separate fields instead of overwriting the original metadata?
Disclosure: I help maintain hip.porn; the link is only a concrete Russian-language consumer example.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Only thing is Russian-only is a bit inconvenient for me, I kinda need a few languages at once. I actually just found avdbapi.com not long ago — it has a bunch of languages and updates pretty early, so I've been using it lately to see how it goes. Pretty ok so far honestly. If you want, once I've used it for a while I can let you know how it holds up.

maybe this help apijav.com

Oh nice, your site pulls from a lot of sources — it's even got the avdb source I'm currently using, and it's pretty fast too. I'll think about plugging this API in and see how it goes.
