How It Works

Three simple steps from search to stream.

🔍

Find any movie or TV show using the TMDB Search API. Get back the TMDB ID you need.

2
🎯

Choose Lightning for speed, FebBox for browser-native HLS, or Debrid for premium 4K links.

3
🔗

4
▶️

Play Anywhere

Use the stream URL in any player — browser, VLC, Infuse, your own app, anything.

Three Powerful Providers

Choose from multiple streaming backends — each integrated with TMDB for instant lookups.

FebBox

HLS Streams

High-quality HLS streams that play natively in browsers. Requires a UI token. Multi-resolution support with bandwidth limits on free plans.

GET /api/febbox/movie/{tmdb_id}?token={ui_token}
GET /api/febbox/tv/{tmdb_id}/{season}/{episode}?token={ui_token}

Debrid

4K/REMUX

Premium Real-Debrid powered MP4 links. Massive quality files (4K REMUX, DV, Atmos). Best for downloading or external players like VLC/Infuse.

GET /api/debrid/movie/{tmdb_id}

Lightning

Unlimited

Unlimited ultra-fast streaming. Vast library of instantly playable HLS streams, capped at reliable 1080p for maximum speed and compatibility.

GET /api/lightning/movie/{tmdb_id}
GET /api/lightning/tv/{tmdb_id}/{season}/{episode}
⏱️

Rate Limits

To keep the API stable for everyone, per-IP rate limits apply: Debrid: 10 seconds between requests. Lightning, FebBox, Subtitles: 5 seconds between requests. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429 with a wait time in the response.
