Short Dramas

Short-drama service: rankings, categories, search, details and playback URLs — follow ranking / category → list → details → playback to build a short-drama site.

/api/dramas/

Service Description

The short-drama service aggregates data from short-drama sites and provides rankings, categories, search, details and playback URLs. Follow ranking / category → list → details → playback to stand up a short-drama site; the search endpoint looks series up by title keyword.

播放能力：前 3 集由源站直接下发明文直链（源站仅 360p）；第 4 集及以后源站只下发DRM 加密的 H.265，由本服务在服务端解密后实时中转出流 —— 拿到播放地址后请求它就开始出数据（实测首块 0.3 秒），不需要等整集生成。

出流编码按客户端能力二选一：codec=hevc 只解密+重新封装、不重编码（画质是源站原画，小程序 / App / iOS / Android 都能解，服务端几乎不耗 CPU）；codec=h264 实时重编码（桌面浏览器兜底，首帧约 1~2 秒）。

首次点播是「边解密边发」：请求地址就开始出数据，不用等整集生成；这一遍转完会把整集留成缓存产物，之后再请求同一个地址就是标准文件出流 —— 支持 HTTP Range 拖动、可从上次位置继续，暂停很久或关掉页面后再回来也不会从头。视频很短时基本感觉不到差别。若所用播放器对分片流兼容性不佳（部分 iOS / 小程序播放器），可传 mode=file，由服务端先生成整集文件再整文件出流（首次需等待）。

Direct source links returned by the playback endpoint are MP4 and time-limited — do not cache them on the client. Series metadata and episode lists are cached longer; playback links are cached briefly so they stay fresh. This service requires project signature.

Response Format

Every endpoint returns the same JSON envelope; the payload is always inside data: 

{
  "code": 10000,
  "msg": "成功",
  "data": { ... }
}
  • code: business status code. 10000 means success; anything else is an error — see the Error Codes page for the full list.
  • msg: a human-readable message you can show to end users, but never use it for program logic.
  • data: the payload; usually null on error. Each endpoint's Response section lists its data fields.

GET /api/dramas/hongguo/categories Total calls: 1

Category List

Get the category tree (top level -> sub-genres).

  • Categories have two levels: the top level is the content form (live-action drama / comic drama / AI drama / comics) and the second level is the genre (romance / period / comeback ...).
  • Every node's slug can be passed straight to the category parameter of the category list endpoint: a top-level slug returns that whole top level, while a sub-genre returns only that genre (e.g. real-drama/romance). Top levels with no sub-genres (comics) have an empty children array.

GET /api/dramas/hongguo/detail Total calls: 119

Series Details

Get series details and the full episode list.

Required: series ID (from list / search results).

  • data.episodes is the full episode list; each item has ep / episode_id / playable / source.
  • episodes[].playable follows exactly the same rule as the playback endpoint: an episode is playable when either route works — the source link or this site's own stream. source says which one applies: origin (source link) / stream (site stream; the first play takes tens of seconds to generate). Site streaming is available by default, so episode 4 and later are usually playable=true too.
  • data.playable_cnt is the unbroken range of source links (the first N episodes, meaning unchanged); data.listed_cnt is how many episodes are actually playable (the count of playable=true). To tell whether a specific episode plays, use episodes[].playable — do not derive it from playable_cnt.
  • Returns EXTERNAL_API_FAILED when the series does not exist.

series_id string Series ID (echoes the input)
name string Drama title
cover string Cover image URL

GET /api/dramas/hongguo/play Total calls: 7402

Playback URL

Get the playback URL of an episode (directly playable in a browser).

Required: episode number, starting from 1.

选填：出流画质（= 输出宽度上限；短剧是竖屏，1080 即 1080×1920，也就是日常说的 1080p）。指定了高于源站公开 mp4 的画质（源站仅 360p）时，改用本站「网页直出」出到该画质；未指定、或不高于源站时直接用源站直链（360p）。每档产物各存一份；换画质要重新调本接口换地址。

选填：本站直出时用什么编码。hevc = 解密后原样封装、不重编码，约 1 秒出片且画质是源站原画（仅 iOS / Android / macOS / 部分桌面 Chrome 能解）；h264 = 重编码，兼容所有浏览器但要等数十秒。浏览器解不了 HEVC 时选 hevc 会只有声音没有画面，所以本页会在能解时自动选 hevc、不能解时保持自动。

选填：本站直出时怎么把数据发给客户端。pipe（默认）= 边解密（必要时边转码）边发分片流，实测首块 0.3 秒、浏览器首帧 1.5 秒；这一遍转完会把整集留成缓存产物，之后同一地址就是标准文件出流（可拖动、可续播）。首次响应本身没有 Content-Length、不能拖动。file = 先在服务端生成整集文件再整文件出流，首次要等（hevc 约 1 秒、h264 数十秒），但从第一次起就能拖动。iOS 原生播放器 / 部分小程序播放器对分片流兼容性不佳时改传 file。

  • 源站有公开 mp4 的集默认返回源站明文直链（origin，源站仅 360p）；调用方指定了更高画质（q 高于源站）或该集源站无公开 mp4 时，改由本站出流（stream）。data.source 区分来源（取值与「剧集详情」的 episodes[].source 一致）：
  • · origin —— 源站明文直链（源站公开 mp4，仅 360p）；
  • · stream —— 本站直出：data.url 为可直接交给 <video> 播放的地址（支持 HTTP Range 拖动），画质见 data.quality、编码见 data.codec，data.ready=false 表示该画质首次被点播、服务端正在生成（hevc 约 1 秒内即可 ready=true；h264 需数十秒），请轮询该地址：202=正在生成、503=生成失败（响应体里有原因）、200/206=可播放，别只按 HTTP 200 判定。触发后台生成的是该地址本身的第一次请求（GET 或 HEAD）—— 只反复调用播放接口不会开始生成。
  • data.stream_mode 说明这条地址怎么出流：pipe（默认）= 服务端边解密边发分片流，请求即播（实测首块 0.3 秒、浏览器首帧 1.5 秒）；首次响应没有 Content-Length、不能拖进度条，但这一遍转完会把整集留成缓存产物，此后同一地址再请求即变成 file 出流（可拖动、可续播）；file = 产物已就绪（或显式传 mode=file），整文件出流、支持 HTTP Range。播放器可按 data.stream_mode 决定是否显示拖动条。
  • That URL is authenticated by the time-limited token it carries (2 hours by default); call this endpoint again for a fresh URL after it expires.
  • Returns PARAM_VALUE_INVALID when ep is out of range (beyond the total episode count).
  • Direct source links are time-limited — do not cache them long-term.
Response Common envelope
Field Type Description
series_id string Series ID (echoes the input)
ep int Episode number (echoes the input)
playable bool Whether playable (always true on success)
source string Source: origin (upstream direct link) / stream (served by this site)
url string Play URL (time-limited)
url_type string Only source=stream: URL type (mp4)
quality int Only source=stream: output quality (max width)
codec string 仅 source=stream：产物编码（h264 / hevc）
ready bool Only source=stream: whether the output is ready (poll while false)
stream_mode string 仅 source=stream：出流方式 pipe 边解密边发（不可拖动）/ file 整文件（可拖动）
episode_id string Only source=origin: upstream episode ID
duration int Only source=origin: duration
width int Only source=origin: video width
height int Only source=origin: video height
poster string Only source=origin: poster image URL
Example response 
{
  "series_id": "7686894628578020414",
  "ep": 1,
  "episode_id": "123",

Playback Test hls.js / mp4 Plays automatically after the request above succeeds; you can also paste any playback URL (m3u8 / mp4) to test.
GET /api/dramas/hongguo/stream Total calls: 7406

Web Direct Stream

The web-playable stream URL for episode 4 and later (plays directly in a plain <video> tag).

Required: the time-limited token issued by the playback endpoint; no project signature needed.

  • This URL is returned by the playback endpoint and plays directly in a <video> tag. It carries no project signature (browsers cannot add one); authentication uses the time-limited token in the URL.
  • 画质与编码都由「播放地址」的参数决定、已写在令牌里，本端点不需要再传 —— 同一集不同画质/编码是不同的地址，各自独立缓存（hevc 产物在 &lt;画质&gt;/hevc/ 子目录，h264 在同档目录下）。
  • 出流有两种形态，按 data.stream_mode 区分：pipe = 服务端边解密（必要时边转码）边发分片流，请求即开始返回数据（实测首块 0.3 秒），这一遍响应无 Content-Length、不支持 Range（不能拖进度条），但转完会自动留成产物；file = 产物已就绪，整文件出流并支持 Range（206）拖动。因此「第一次点播不能拖、第二次起可以」是正常现象。
  • pipe 模式下同时在播的人数有上限，满了返回 503 + Retry-After（地址仍然有效，稍后重试即可，不必重新调播放接口）。
  • 仅在 HONGGUO_STREAM_MODE=file 时才会出现「首次点播返回 202（Retry-After: 3），服务端后台生成」的老流程；生成失败返回 503（响应体里有失败原因）。请勿只按 HTTP 200 判定。
  • An invalid or expired token returns 403; call the playback endpoint again for a fresh URL.
Response Common envelope

成功返回视频二进制流（video/mp4；pipe 模式为分片流、file 模式支持 Range）；file 模式下生成中返回 202、生成失败或管道并发已满返回 503、令牌无效或过期 403，均非统一 JSON 信封。
