jandapress



RESTful and experimental API for the doujinboards




	

	




Jandapress was named **JCE** (Janda Cheerio Express) and definitely depends on them.  

The motivation of this project is to bring you an actionable data related doujin with gather in mind.

## The problem

You enjoy consume doujin sites to build web applications. There are a lot sites that have effort especially pururin, simply-hentai and etc, not official api available nor public resource that can be used for everyone. Instead making lot of abstraction and enumerating them manually, You can rely on jandapress to make less of pain. The current state is FREE to use, meant all anonymous usage is allowed no aunthentication required and CORS was enabled.



## The solution




## Features



- Gather the most doujin sites

- Objects taken that are consistent structure, almost

- Objects taken is re-appended to make extendable

- All in one: get, search, and random methods

- In the future we may implement JWT authentication

- Pure scraping, except nh sigh..

## Prerequisites



	NOTE: NodeJS 16.x or higher



To handle several requests from each web, You will also need [Redis](https://redis.io/) for persistent caching, free tier is available on [Redis Labs](https://redislabs.com/), You can also choose another provider as we using [keyv](https://github.com/jaredwray/keyv) Key-value storage with support for multiple backends. All data must be stored in `` here.



## Installation

Rename `.env.schema` to `.env` and fill the value with your own



```bash

# railway, fly.dev, heroku, vercel or any free service, NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN should be true

RAILWAY = sinkaroid



# default port

PORT = 3000



# backend storage, default is redis, if not set it will consume memory storage

REDIS_URL = redis://default:somenicepassword@redis-666.c10.us-east-6-6.ec666.cloud.redislabs.com:1337



# ttl expire cache (in X hour)

EXPIRE_CACHE = 1



# nhentai strategy

# default is true which is assign to request on IP instead of nhentai.net with cloudflare

# if you have instance like vps you need chromium or firefox installed and set it to false

NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN = true



# you must set COOKIE if NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN is false, read the jandapress docs 

COOKIE = "cf_clearance=l7RsUjiZ3LHAZZKcM7BcCylwD2agwPDU7l9zkg8MzPo-1676044652-0-250"



# you must set USER_AGENT if NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN is false, read the jandapress docs

USER_AGENT = "jandapress/1.0.5 Node.js/16.9.1"

```



### Docker



    docker pull ghcr.io/sinkaroid/jandapress:latest

    docker run -p 3000:3000 -d ghcr.io/sinkaroid/jandapress:latest



### Docker (your own)

```bash

docker run -d \

  --name=jandapress \

  -p 3000:3000 \

  -e REDIS_URL='redis://default:somenicepassword@redis-666.c10.us-east-6-6.ec666.cloud.redislabs.com:1337' \

  -e EXPIRE_CACHE='1' \

  -e NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN='false' \

  -e COOKIE='cf_clearance=AbcDefGhijY7RYSKv3YeJUjrI5xQ2Uc-666-0-250' \

  -e USER_AGENT='jandapress/1.0.5 Node.js/16.9.1' \

  ghcr.io/sinkaroid/jandapress:latest

```



### Manual



    git clone https://github.com/sinkaroid/jandapress.git



- Install dependencies

  - `npm install / yarn install`

- Jandapress production

  - `npm run start:prod`

- Jandapress testing and hot reload

  - `npm run start:dev`



## Nhentai Guide

### The problem

https://nhentai.net was Clouflare protection enabled, for default jandapress use [real IP address to bypass the protection](https://github.com/sinkaroid/jandapress/blob/master/src/utils/options.ts#L7..L10), but **sometimes** even it's from IP address the `/api` path return error that means admins or their maintainer don't allow us to request from the IP address.

### The solution

You will need instance such as VPS and install Chrome or Chromium or Firefox, You have to set `NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN` to `false`, set `COOKIE` and `USER_AGENT`. We'll simulate the request with [tough-cookie](https://github.com/salesforce/tough-cookie) and [http-cookie-agent](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-cookie-agent) 



![image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/952117487166705747/1073699069643468902/Screenshot_267_copy.jpg)



- set `NHENTAI_IP_ORIGIN` to `false` in `.env` file

- open browser and go to https://nhentai.net

- verify you are human

- open devtools and set custom user agent

- reload the page and wait cloudflare again

- open devtools and go to network tab and request

- get the `cf_clearance` value and set it to `COOKIE` in `.env` file 

- set the user agent to `USER_AGENT` in `.env` file

- test that your cookie is working `npm run test:cf`

  - it should return 200 status code otherwise watch your step



[The documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/reference/cloudflare-cookies/#:~:text=This%20cookie%20expires%20after%2030,Bot%20Management%2C%20a%20session%20identifier.) said and correct me if I'm wrong:

> This cookie expires after 30 minutes of continuous inactivity by the end user. The cookie contains information related to the calculation of Cloudflare’s proprietary bot score and, when Anomaly Detection is enabled on Bot Management, a session identifier. 



└── https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals



You will need to make your cookie is not expired otherwise manual update is required, it can be with set interval or cron job to automate your request.



## Running tests

Jandapress testing



### Start the production server

`npm run start:prod`



### Running development server

`npm run start:dev`



### Check the whole sites, It's available for scraping or not

`npm run test`



### Check nhentai It's under cloudflare protection or not

`npm run test:cf`



### Generating playground like swagger from apidoc definition

`npm run build:apidoc`



> To running other tests, you can see object scripts in file `package.json`
