API for Strike
Whats new in V2?
Fixed download endpoint to not return 200 even when a file was 404'd Fixed download endpoint to allow access origin * Info structure has been cleaned up - https://gist.github.com/Codeusa/92818fd7a0da398f0809 File sizes are now in bytes rather than a string of their total size. Added endpoint for descriptions Added sub category filtering to top 100, increased speeds up to 150% Removed download link from top 100, replaced with magnet. Removed download link from info, replaced with magnet Max excution time set to 5 seconds, should never be more than this; ever. Filter out strings by adding a - in front of them. (may increase search times) Added sub category searching to search endpoint
I for one understand the importance of getting information on torrents, scraping is a hassle and regex golf stops being fun after awhile
With this Open API I hope to help with the further development of your software/apps when it comes to locating information on your torrents.
Torrents are updated once an hour, this includes updating data like seeders/leechers but also adding new torrents. Querys are NOT cached and unknown torrents are logged to be added.
If you have any questions, concerns or request see my contact information at the bottom.
Web API ExamplesThe Web API is the centre of everything, from here you can get all the neat information about hashes, lets start by showing you a few examples.
If you just want to get the information of a single torrent based on its hash do the following
https://getstrike.net/api/v2/torrents/info/?hashes=B425907E5755031BDA4A8D1B6DCCACA97DA14C04
You will receive the following JSON output
{"results":1,"statuscode":200,"responsetime":0.0031,"torrents":[{"torrent_hash":"B425907E5755031BDA4A8D1B6DCCACA97DA14C04","torrent_title":"Arch Linux 2015.01.01 (x86\/x64)","torrent_category":"Applications","sub_category":"","seeds":645,"leeches":13,"file_count":1,"size":615514112,"upload_date":"Jan 6, 2015","uploader_username":"The_Doctor-","file_info":{"file_names":["archlinux-2015.01.01-dual.iso"],"file_lengths":[615514112]},"magnet_uri":"magnet:?xt=urn:btih:B425907E5755031BDA4A8D1B6DCCACA97DA14C04&dn=Arch+Linux+2015.01.01+%28x86%2Fx64%29&tr=udp:\/\/open.demonii.com:1337&tr=udp:\/\/tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969&tr=udp:\/\/tracker.leechers-paradise.org:6969&tr=udp:\/\/exodus.desync.com:6969"}]}Now if you require more torrents, simply place a comma and continue adding more hashes, the maximum is 50 a query. Duplicates are removed automatically by the API.
Go ahead and send this query
https://getstrike.net/api/v2/torrents/info/?hashes=B425907E5755031BDA4A8D1B6DCCACA97DA14C04,156B69B8643BD11849A5D8F2122E13FBB61BD041
You will receive yet another json object, this one containing two torrent arrays

Strike and its API will always be free, a lot of time was spent designing not only the code but the responsiveness of the site. If you wish to contribute even a dollar, you would be allowing more time to be spent perfecting this project I will never charge for the use of the API, but hosting does cost money.
