Online cinema with automatic content filling

A fully functional online cinema website, developed from scratch with a focus on complex automated parsing of video content from external sources.

The key feature of the project is a multi-level parsing system that works with websites on heavy frameworks and dynamic technologies (SPA, protected structures, JS rendering).

Technological part
• Backend: PHP / MySQL (custom engine)
• Asynchronous and background parsing
• Bypassing dynamic rendering and complex page structures
• Working with unstable sources and frequent layout changes
• Task queues, retries, error control

Platform functionality
• Automatic filling of the movie and series catalog
• Parsing of descriptions, posters, seasons, episodes, video quality
• Content updates without administrator involvement
• Categories, genres, filters, search
• Optimized interface for a large catalog

Stability and protection
• Protection against source blocking
• Request masking and logic rotation
• Minimizing server load
• Logs, monitoring, and recovery from failures

Result
The project is implemented as a stable high-load platform capable of:
• processing large volumes of data,
• working with unstable sources,
• scaling without loss of performance.
