ReelShort Scraper - Full Episode M3U8 Streams & Drama Info

ReelShort Scraper — Full Episode M3U8 Streams & Drama Info

One platform, done properly. Paste a ReelShort link, book id or title and get every episode's direct HLS (m3u8) stream in one run, together with the drama's title, cover, synopsis, tags and cast.

No 40-platform menu, no guessing which source works today. Just ReelShort's English catalog — 4,500+ dramas, kept in sync with new releases.

Why this one

• Whole drama in one run — all 60–100 episodes come back together, numbered in order
• Long-lived stream URLs — not tokens that die in a few hours, so you don't have to re-fetch before every play. Store them and play them later
• Plain HLS — the m3u8 opens in any HLS player (hls.js, Video.js, VLC, ffmpeg), no headers, cookies or referer needed
• Pick the episodes you need — "1-10", "1,3,5-8", or leave empty for all
• Pay per episode, failures are free — unknown titles, missing dramas or bad input cost nothing
• Fast and light — pure HTTP, 128 MB, a drama takes about a second

How much does it cost?

Event	Price
Episode stream returned	$0.002 per episode ($2 per 1,000)
Drama info only (infoOnly: true)	$0.001 per drama

A typical 70-episode drama costs about $0.14, once — the URLs stay valid, so there's no paying again to refresh them. Drama info is included free when you fetch episodes. No start fee; failed items are never charged. Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly at your budget.
