Providers

Sources javinfo aggregates, what each returns, and how to pin one with `providers`.

A provider is a source javinfo aggregates and normalizes. Each search fans out across them and returns the first structured hit — metadata, magnets, streams — in one call, no scrapers to maintain. Let the API pick, or pin a source.

The roster

ProviderBest forReturnsEndpoints
fanza, dmmRichest structured metadata & filteringMetadata, jackets, sample images (censored catalog)/movie, /query, /random
missavStreams & the broadest filters.m3u8 stream URLs, Japanese genres, runtime + release ranges/movie, /query
javdbDownload links & sortingMagnets / download links, ratings, availability/movie, /query
javdatabaseDescriptions & imagesDescription text, sample images, archive browsing/movie, /query
sextbStreams & uncensored titles.m3u8 streams, metadata, censored + uncensored/movie, /query
javlibraryDeep-catalog fallbackMetadata, cover, sample images/movie, /query
javbusTorrents & Japanese metadataMetadata, cover, gallery images, magnets/movie, /query

fanza and dmm are the two DMM + FANZA storefronts. Query ids: query:fanza, query:dmm, query:javdatabase, query:sextb, query:javlibrary, query:javbus, query:missav, query:javdb.

Selecting a provider

Default: fan-out

Omit providers and every registered provider is a candidate, tried in order; the first that fully satisfies the request wins:

FANZA → DMM → javdatabase → sextb → javlibrary → javbus → missav → javdb

The first seven, through missav, come from our own index, answering in milliseconds. javdb is fetched live as the fallback tier; /movie swaps the last two, putting javdb ahead of missav.

On /query, a provider that can't satisfy the filter/sort is skipped. /movie and /random take no filters: first hit wins. The winner is echoed as source:

{ "q": "SSIS-001", "source": "fanza", "result": { "...": "..." } }

Pin with providers

Send providers to force a source or set: an array or comma list, with or without the query: prefix:

curl -s -X POST https://api.javinfo.dev/query \
  -H "x-javinfo-key: $KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "q": "ABP", "providers": ["javdb"], "sort": "rating" }'

"providers": "javdb", ["fanza","missav"] and "query:javdb" are all valid. A pinned provider that can't satisfy a /query request fails the call with 422 and a message naming the reason. Unknown id: 400. See Errors.

Pinning, the waterfall and per-filter capability matter most on /query; the per-provider filter/sort matrix is in the capability matrix. /movie and /random just echo the winner as source. The MCP server takes its own providers argument, where javdb is movie-only.

The providers

fanza / dmm

The DMM + FANZA storefronts and the richest structured source: all named dimensions (genre, actress, maker, series, director, label, actor), freely combined, English values, minute-based runtime filters, sort: release, pagination. Censored only; uncensored excludes them.

missav

The broadest filters and the stream source (.m3u8). Every named dimension (genres in Japanese, e.g. 巨乳), both ranges, censored both ways. No sort (relevance only), no real pagination (always page 1).

javdb

No per-field filters, but the best sorting and the download source: coarse censored (both ways), availability (playable / magnets / subtitle / single), rich sort (relevance / release / update / rating). Paginated.

javdatabase

Our catalog of the English site. Full filtering: every named dimension combined, both ranges, censored and uncensored. English values only, no auto-slugifying; a Japanese q is skipped. Paginated, sort: release works.

sextb

Streams from our catalog: every named dimension, both ranges, censored both ways. Titles carry .m3u8 stream URLs alongside the usual metadata. Paginated, sort: release works.

javlibrary

A deep catalog, all ours. /movie is a code lookup: title, cast, genres, runtime, release date, studio, cover and sample images (no magnets or streams). /query is a full search: every named dimension, both ranges, sort: release, censored only. Paginated. Reach for it when storefronts miss a code.

javbus

Our crawled javbus catalog: about 663,000 titles, censored and uncensored, from our own index with no hourly cap. It carries English and Japanese titles, cast, genres, maker, label, series, director, cover, gallery images.

/query supports every named dimension except actor, both ranges, and censored both ways. Actress, maker and genre values match Japanese or English (三上悠亜 and Yua Mikami both work). Sorting is relevance or release only; results paginate. No availability.

/movie adds torrents: each magnet is an entry in result.extra.downloadLinks with name, info hash, magnet URI, size in bytes, hd, cnsub, createdAt.
