masterani.me shutting down

Is it really happening?

[shpetimselaci]

If so we will have to change the anime provider

[CustardGod]

Seems like it.

[shpetimselaci]

Why?

[CustardGod]

DMCA it seems

Every video on the site says "Due to dmca / copyright law the content you're trying to view is unavailble."

[shpetimselaci]

So it is not official?

[shpetimselaci]

They probably fix those videos

[CustardGod]

No it's official. Front page of their website says they're closing

: ( Goodbye.
It’s finally time for us to use the cliche saying “All good things must come to an end”. It’s rare that we’ll write up an announcement like this in a more serious tone. But due to certain circumstances we'll be closing down masterani.me and stop serving any video links to anime on our website.

We realise that we have built and have an amazing community because of the entertainment that we have in common called anime, so we’ll keep the discussions open for a bit longer so that you can give proper goodbye’s to your fellow fans.

Thank you
Masterani.me

Our one and only domain is www.masterani.me any other site/app is pretending to be us, just be aware.

That’s sad :(.
We will eventually have to use another API or to create a scrapper

create a scrapper

I already have a pretty good scraper working https://github.com/vn-ki/anime-downloader. I am rewriting it currently and is planning to create a graphql plugin for it.

It would add the dependency of python, which is a bummer.

[anthonygedeon]

@vn-ki I know this is an old thread but have you made any progress with the scraper?

[altinselimi]

@anthonygedeon it looks like the anime-downloader repo is very well maintained and active ! We could try a revival using anime-downloader as backend.
