# sponsorblock-mirror
This is a Rust-based mirror of the [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app) API.
It also uses [sb-mirror](https://github.com/mchangrh/sb-mirror) for mirroring the CSV dumps via rsync.

Feel free to add your instance to this list by making a pull request.
You can also configure Piped-Backend to use your mirror by changing the `SPONSORBLOCK_SERVERS` configuration value.
## Compatibility
This implementation does not implement the full SponsorBlock server API. It supports hash-based queries to `/api/skipSegments/<hash>`, with optional `categories` parameter, and queries to `/api/skipSegments` with required `videoID` and optional `categories` parameters.
The browser extension works with only the hash-based query endpoint, but other clients, such as the one in ReVanced, require the video ID endpoint, and additionally query `/api/userInfo` and `/api/isUserVip`. Right now there are stub implementations for these. ReVanced had not yet been verified as compatible.
## Using with Docker Compose
To run the server under Docker Compose, run:
```
docker compose up
```
This starts the API server, a database, and a mirroring service to download the SponsorBlock data from the `sponsorblock.kavin.rocks` mirror and keep it up to date.
The API will be available on `http://localhost:8000`. For example, you can try `http://localhost:8000/api/skipSegments/aabf` or `http://localhost:8000/api/skipSegments?videoID=eQ_8F4nzyiw`. **It will take a few minutes at least for the database to download and import,** so these will not return data on the first run.

## Building
To make a local release build, use `cargo build --release`. This will produce a binary in `target/release/sponsorblock-mirror`.
To make a Docker container, you need to do a BuildKit Docker build, not a normal Docker build. Make sure you have `buildx` available in your Docker, and run:
```bash
docker buildx build --load -t 1337kavin/sponsorblock-mirror .
```
## Troubleshooting
2022-10-31 00:16:35 +05:30
* If the linker complains about a missing `-lpq`, make sure you have the PostgreSQL development libraries, which may be in a `libpq-dev` package or your distribution's equivalent.
* If Docker complains that `the --mount option requires BuildKit`, make sure you are building with `docker buildx build` and not `docker build`.

* To access the PostgreSQL database directly, you can `docker exec -ti postgres-sb-mirror bash -c 'psql $POSTGRES_DB $POSTGRES_USER'`.
* Requests for videos not in the database are forwarded to `https://sponsor.ajay.app/`, which may be down or malfunctioning. A response of the string `Internal Server Error` is likely to be from there, rather than from this application.
