Example

You need this crate and tokio as dependency in your Cargo.toml in order to start working:

[dependencies]
crunchyroll-rs = "0.12"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

The following code prints the data of the episode behind the given url:

use crunchyroll_rs::{Crunchyroll, MediaCollection};
use crunchyroll_rs::parse::UrlType;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Log in to Crunchyroll with your email and password.
    // Support for username login was dropped by Crunchyroll on December 6th, 2023
    let crunchyroll = Crunchyroll::builder()
        .login_with_credentials("<email>", "<password>")
        .await?;

    let url = crunchyroll_rs::parse_url("https://www.crunchyroll.com/watch/GRDQPM1ZY/alone-and-lonesome").expect("url is not valid");
    if let UrlType::EpisodeOrMovie(media_id) = url {
        if let MediaCollection::Episode(episode) = crunchyroll.media_collection_from_id(media_id).await? {
            println!(
                "Url is episode {} ({}) of {} season {}",
                episode.episode_number,
                episode.title,
                episode.series_title,
                episode.season_number
            )
        }
    } else {
        panic!("Url is not a episode")
    }

    Ok(())
}

Api Coverage

Crunchyroll regularly updates their api but does not provide any documentation for it. Because we do not monitor the api constantly, so we cannot immediately say when a new endpoint is added or something has changed on already existing and implemented endpoints (which is semi-covered by the __test-strict feature, at least). If you find an endpoint which is not implemented or has changes feel free to open a new issue and tell us, or fork the library and implement it yourself.

Cloudflare

Crunchyroll uses the cloudflare bot protection to detect if requests are made by a human. Obviously this crate makes automated requests and thus, Cloudflare sometimes blocks requests. The crate catches these errors with the error::CrunchyrollError::Block enum field. The block occurs depending on different factors like your location. If such a block occurs you can try to create a custom reqwest::Client which has the needed configuration to bypass this check, like other user agents or tls backends (note that reqwest currently only supports native-tls besides rustls as tls backend, which is confirmed to work with openssl on Linux only, on Windows the blocks are even more aggressive). The configurations may vary on the factors addressed so there is no 100% right way to do it.
