RESTful and experimental API for PornHub and other R18 websites

Lustpress was originally named Lust and Express (legacy name) and now runs on Bun + Elysia. The motivation of this project is carry an actionable data related to pornhub and other r18 sites with gather, similar design pattern, endpoint bindings, and consistent structure in mind.

Many developers consume r18 websites as a source of data when building web applications. However, most of these sites — such as pornhub, redtube, and others — do not provide official APIs or public resources that can be easily integrated into applications.

As a result, developers often need to implement their own scraping logic, build multiple abstractions, and manually maintain integrations for each site.

Lustpress aims to simplify this process by providing a unified interface for accessing data across multiple r18 sites. Instead of maintaining separate implementations, developers can rely on Lustpress to reduce complexity and development overhead.

The current state of the service is free to use, meaning anonymous usage is allowed. No authentication is required, and CORS is enabled to support browser-based applications.

Don't make it long, make it short. All processed through single rest endpoint bindings

• Aggregates data from multiple sites.
• Provides a consistent and structured response format across all sources.
• Extracted objects are normalized and reassembled to support extensibility.
• Unified interface supporting get, search, and random methods.
• Planned support for optional JWT authentication in future releases.
• Primarily based on pure scraping techniques (with limited exceptions where required).

Some tests may fail in CI environments because certain websites restrict or block automated requests originating from CI infrastructure and shared IP ranges, but trying to keep up

To handle several requests from each website, You will also need Redis for persistent caching, free tier is available on Redis Labs, You can also choose another adapters as we using keyv Key-value storage with support for multiple backends. When you choosing your own adapter, all data must be stored with <Buffer> type.

Rename .env.schema to .env and fill the value with your own

# default port
PORT = 3000

# backend storage, default is redis, if not set it will consume memory storage
REDIS_URL = redis://default:somenicepassword@redis-666.c10.us-east-6-6.ec666.cloud.redislabs.com:1337

# ttl expire cache (in X hour)
EXPIRE_CACHE = 1

# you must identify your origin, if not set it will use default
USER_AGENT = "lustpress/8.2.3-alpha Bun/1.3.13"

Pornhub serves a JavaScript challenge page to detect automated requests. Instead of relying on a headless browser (Playwright/Puppeteer), Lustpress solves this natively with zero external dependencies.

How it works:

• Fetch the index page and capture initial session cookies
• Detect the leastFactor math challenge in the response HTML
• Parse obfuscated variables (p, s) and conditional bitwise operations
• Compute the correct KEY cookie value
• Verify the solved cookie against the index
• Cache and reuse cookies for subsequent requests, auto-refresh on expiry

This approach runs in < 1ms compared to 5-10s with a headless browser, uses virtually no memory, and is fully Docker-friendly — no Chromium installation required.

The solver logic lives in src/utils/ph-solver.ts. If Pornhub changes its obfuscation pattern, update the regex patterns in that file.

Q: The website response is slow

That's unfortunate, this repository was opensource already, You can host and deploy Lustpress with your own instance. Any fixes and improvements will updating to this repo.

March 11, 2026: We have discontinued providing public APIs and playground services due to ongoing abuse and excessive usage. To continue using Lustpress, please deploy and run your own self-hosted instance.
