xvideos

xvideos

A Node.js library for the xvideos.com API.

Requires Node.js 20+.

Installation

$ npm install @rodrigogs/xvideos

Usage

import xvideos from '@rodrigogs/xvideos';

const xvideos = require('@rodrigogs/xvideos');

(async () => {
  // Retrieve fresh videos from the first page
  const fresh = await xvideos.videos.fresh({ page: 1 });
  // Log details of the retrieved videos
  console.log(fresh.videos); // Array of video objects with properties like url, videoId, title, duration, durationSeconds, thumbnailUrl, profile, watchCount
  console.log(fresh.pagination.page); // Current page number
  console.log(fresh.pagination.pages); // Array of available page numbers
  console.log(fresh.hasNext()); // Check if there is a next page
  console.log(fresh.hasPrevious()); // Check if there is a previous page

  // Retrieve the next page of fresh videos
  const nextPage = await fresh.next();
  // Log details of the next page
  console.log(nextPage.pagination.page); // Updated current page number
  console.log(nextPage.hasNext()); // Check if the next page exists
  console.log(nextPage.hasPrevious()); // Check if the previous page exists

  // Retrieve the previous page of fresh videos
  const previousPage = await fresh.previous();
  // Log details of the previous page
  console.log(previousPage.pagination.page); // Updated current page number
  console.log(previousPage.hasNext()); // Check if the next page exists
  console.log(previousPage.hasPrevious()); // Check if the previous page exists

  // Retrieve detailed information about a specific video
  const detail = await xvideos.videos.details(fresh.videos[0]);
  // Log details of the specific video
  console.log(detail); // Detailed video object with properties like title, videoId, duration, durationSeconds, thumbnailUrls, watchCount, videoType, files, uploadDate, tags, categories

  // Retrieve many detail pages with explicit crawl controls
  const batch = await xvideos.videos.detailsMany(fresh.videos.slice(0, 3), {
    concurrency: 2,
    retries: 1,
    minDelayMs: 250,
  });
  console.log(batch.successes); // Successful detail payloads in input order
  console.log(batch.failures); // Failed inputs with their error
})();

Crawl ergonomics

xvideos.configure({ minRequestIntervalMs, proxyUrl })

Configures process-wide request behavior. Applies to every request the library makes from this process (all videos.* methods, list and detail alike).

import xvideos from '@rodrigogs/xvideos';

xvideos.configure({
  // Minimum spacing between request starts (milliseconds). Keeps the
  // library polite against rate limiters and is shared across every
  // concurrent client in the process.
  minRequestIntervalMs: 250,
  // Route requests through an HTTP(S) proxy — useful when running from a
  // datacenter IP that XVIDEOS blocks (e.g. CI runners).
  proxyUrl: 'http://user:[email protected]:8080',
});

minRequestIntervalMs is shared process-wide: the largest configured interval across all clients wins and cannot be lowered afterwards (per-client options raise it further; resetSharedThrottle is exposed from base.ts for full reset). proxyUrl can also be passed per client via RequestOptions when you do not want a global proxy.

Note for CommonJS consumers: require('@rodrigogs/xvideos').configure(...) returns a Promise (the CJS entry loads the ESM build lazily) — await it or chain .then() before firing requests to guarantee the config is applied first.

Development

npm run build
npm run lint
npm run format
npm run test:unit
npm run test:integration
npm run coverage
npm test

Real-HTML fixtures under test/fixtures/ pin the current site layout. If a fixture test fails after an XVIDEOS layout change, regenerate with scripts/refresh-fixtures.sh and commit the diff.

Migration Notes

Version 3.2 category browsing and crawl ergonomics

This release is additive:

• videos.category({ category, page }) — category video listings by slug (/c/<slug>), with 404 handling that surfaces an empty listing for unknown categories
• xvideos.configure({ minRequestIntervalMs, proxyUrl }) — process-wide crawl ergonomics: a shared minimum interval between request starts (rate limiting, shared across all clients) and optional HTTP(S) proxy routing
• retry backoff now uses exponential backoff with full jitter instead of a fixed linear delay
• real-HTML fixtures (test/fixtures/) pin the current site layout — parser tests fail on layout changes instead of production code. Regenerate with scripts/refresh-fixtures.sh

Version 3.1 richer list results and crawl ergonomics

This release is additive:

• list items now include durationSeconds and thumbnailUrl
• videos.detailsMany() adds ordered batch detail fetching with concurrency, retries, retryDelayMs, and minDelayMs

Version 3.0 field normalization

Some fields were normalized to remove redundant data while keeping all information available:

New fields added

• videos[].durationSeconds

• videos[].thumbnailUrl

• details.videoId

• details.durationSeconds

• details.thumbnailUrls

• details.watchCount

• details.voteCount

• details.ratingPercent

• details.uploadDate

• details.description

• details.contentUrl

• details.tags

• details.categories

These changes keep feature parity and add richer metadata from structured page data.

API

Retrieve Dashboard Videos

// Retrieve dashboard videos from the first page
const dashboardList = await xvideos.videos.dashboard({ page: 1 });

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(dashboardList.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Check if there is a previous page of results
console.log(dashboardList.hasPrevious()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh the current page of results to get updated data
const refreshedVideos = await dashboardList.refresh();

// Retrieve the next page of dashboard videos if available
const nextVideos = await dashboardList.next();

// Retrieve the previous page of dashboard videos if available
const previousVideos = await dashboardList.previous();

Retrieve Fresh Videos

// Retrieve fresh videos from the first page
const freshList = await xvideos.videos.fresh({ page: 1 });

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(freshList.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Check if there is a previous page of results
console.log(freshList.hasPrevious()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh the current page of results to get updated data
const refreshedVideos = await freshList.refresh();

// Retrieve the next page of fresh videos if available
const nextVideos = await freshList.next();

// Retrieve the previous page of fresh videos if available
const previousVideos = await freshList.previous();

Retrieve Best Videos

// Retrieve best videos for a specific year and month, starting from the first page
const bestList = await xvideos.videos.best({ year: '2018', month: '02', page: 1 });

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(bestList.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Check if there is a previous page of results
console.log(bestList.hasPrevious()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh the current page of results to get updated data
const refreshedVideos = await bestList.refresh();

// Retrieve the next page of best videos if available
const nextVideos = await bestList.next();

// Retrieve the previous page of best videos if available
const previousVideos = await bestList.previous();

Retrieve Verified Videos

// Retrieve verified videos from the first page
const verifiedList = await xvideos.videos.verified({ page: 1 });

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(verifiedList.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Check if there is a previous page of results
console.log(verifiedList.hasPrevious()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh the current page of results to get updated data
const refreshedVideos = await verifiedList.refresh();

// Retrieve the next page of verified videos if available
const nextVideos = await verifiedList.next();

// Retrieve the previous page of verified videos if available
const previousVideos = await verifiedList.previous();

Retrieve Category Videos

// Retrieve videos from a specific category, starting from the first page
const categoryList = await xvideos.videos.category({ category: 'AI-239' });

// Specify a page number
const categoryPage2 = await xvideos.videos.category({
  category: 'Amateur-65',
  page: 2,
});

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(categoryList.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh / navigate like any other list result
const refreshed = await categoryList.refresh();
const nextVideos = await categoryList.next();

The category option is the slug as it appears in category urls (/c/<category>), e.g. 'AI-239' or 'Amateur-65'. Unknown categories return an empty listing instead of throwing.

Retrieve Video Details

// Retrieve detailed information about a specific video using its URL
const details = await xvideos.videos.details({ url: 'https://www.xvideos.com/video36638661/chaturbate_lulacum69_30-05-2018' });

// Log detailed information about the video
console.log(details); // Detailed video object with properties like title, videoId, duration, durationSeconds, thumbnailUrls, watchCount, videoType, files, uploadDate, description, contentUrl, tags, categories, voteCount, ratingPercent

Retrieve Many Video Details

const batch = await xvideos.videos.detailsMany(
  [
    { url: 'https://www.xvideos.com/video123/example' },
    { url: 'https://www.xvideos.com/video456/example' },
  ],
  {
    concurrency: 3,
    retries: 1,
    retryDelayMs: 250,
    minDelayMs: 500,
  },
);

console.log(batch.items); // One entry per input, preserving order
console.log(batch.successes); // Successful detail payloads only
console.log(batch.failures); // Failed requests with input + error

detailsMany() is intended for enrichment and crawling flows where you want explicit control over throughput and retry behavior without making list methods heavy by default.

Filter Videos

// Search for videos using a keyword, and optionally specify a page number
const videos = await xvideos.videos.search({ k: 'threesome' });
// Example with a specific page number
// const videos = await xvideos.videos.search({ k: 'public', page: 5 });

// Check if there is a next page of results
console.log(videos.hasNext()); // Outputs: true or false

// Check if there is a previous page of results
console.log(videos.hasPrevious()); // Outputs: true or false

// Refresh the current page of results to get updated data
const refreshedVideos = await videos.refresh();

// Retrieve the next page of videos if available
const nextVideos = await videos.next();

// Retrieve the previous page of videos if available
const previousVideos = await videos.previous();

// Search for videos with specific parameters
const videos = await xvideos.videos.search({
  page: 2,
  k: 'threesome',
  sort: 'rating',
  datef: 'week',
  durf: '3-10min',
  quality: 'hd'
});

// Log the search results
console.log(videos); // Array of video objects with properties based on the search parameters
