Searching for bflix is dead. (Solution found, help needed!)

[lowpolyv2]

Querying no longer works on the bflix website for some reason, so searching for the scraper is currently broken.

@Fraei2 found a way around this 🙂

content type must be exactly as set then you make a POST request to that URL with a text body like so and also the search query will need to be URL encoded.

I'm too busy these days so anyone feel free to implement this (hence I'm tagging this with "help wanted"), I would say just keep the old search logic in another function or something just in case they bring the old searching back.

Is nitestv working at all still? I'd love to help but can't get a server response through any means. However, one of the mirrors, bflix.sh, is working and I can try working on that

[lowpolyv2]

Interesting, https://nites.nz and https://nites.co was literally working for me yesterday.

[lowpolyv2]

blfix.sh doesn't work too right now

[lowpolyv2]

It's probably down for the time being, given it some time.

weird, bflix.sh is still up for me, nites.nz doesn't respond, and nites.co's domain is up for sale on a redirect LMAO

yeah LMAO I also saw nites.co on sale too but uhhh... the bflix.sh domain also seems to be out of ownership...

That's really weird, I'm able to access and search on it still,

[lowpolyv2]

Weird probably DNS. Btw in case you didn't already know bflix was rebranded into nites a long time ago and bflix.sh is not their official domains, so even if we switched the domain to bflix.sh it wouldn't work as this seems like an entirely different website that will need a different scraper to scrape.

[yawnbo]

yeah I was looking around yesterday and it's def a mirror. I'll look around for how bad setting up a new scraper would be and maybe work on it

[yawnbo]

but it's def something with DNS because cloudflare returns a 523 error or something
