Architectural Overview
Yomikai API serves as the centralized backend service for anime streaming, manga reading, and rich metadata aggregation. It unifies disparate upstream scrapers into standardized, high-speed JSON contracts.
- Native TMDB Enrichment: Seamlessly combines AniList metadata with The Movie Database (TMDB) to provide canonical episode names, still backdrops, and Japanese titles.
- Multi-Source Stream Racing: Aggregates streams across HiAnime, Megaplay, Vidnest, and AnimePahe with automated fallback so playback remains uninterrupted.
- AniSkip Auto-Integration: Real-time opening (OP) and ending (ED) skip timestamp intervals bundled directly into source responses.
- Lightweight Zero-Puppeteer Engine: 100% native HTTP and AJAX scraping, eliminating browser overhead for maximum speed and sub-50ms cache hits.
