Tech stack of JavCMS and the WordPress plugins
Run JavCMS on your own hosting. It is free and source-available:
- Create an empty database and a database user in your hosting panel.
- Download the latest release, upload the zip to your site folder and extract it.
- Open
https://your-domain/install.phpand choose your catalogs: AVDB, xvidapi, both or later. - Sign in at
https://your-domain/javcms.phpand follow the checklist on the first page.
Big catalogs import faster from the command line, and every import continues where it stopped:
# size, time and storage target of the whole AVDB catalog
php tools/import.php --estimate --provider=avdb --scope=full
# create the import job, then run it (or let cron run it every 5 minutes)
php tools/import.php --start --provider=avdb --scope=full
php tools/import.php --run --max-minutes=4Needs PHP 7.4 to 8.5 and MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB 10.1+, on Apache, Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed or IIS. The full guide is in the JavCMS repository.
Or call the API directly. JSON in the MacCMS format, no key and no sign-up:
curl "https://avdbapi.com/api.php/provide1/vod?ac=videolist&pg=1&pagesize=20"The answer carries page, pagecount, limit, total and a list of videos (vod_id, vod_name and more).
