Convert SMPTE timecode for video, film and broadcast. Turn a timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF) into an absolute frame number or into real-time seconds, and turn a frame count back into a timecode — at 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 or 60 fps. Crucially it handles drop-frame correctly: at 29.97 and 59.94 fps it drops the right frame numbers each minute (notated with a semicolon, 01:00:00;00) so an hour of timecode lines up with an hour of real time, and it computes real seconds with the exact fractional rate (30000/1001). Perfect for NLE and editing tools, subtitle and caption timing, playout and broadcast automation, and media asset management. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. Distinct from date/time, duration and relative-time tools.

Viewing Distance API
TV and projector viewing-distance maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The distance endpoint takes a screen diagonal (inches or centimetres) and aspect ratio and returns the screen width and height and the recommended seating distance for each standard — SMPTE's 30° minimum viewing angle (the farthest comfortable seat), THX's 36° recommendation and THX's 40° maximum (the closest) — in inches, feet, centimetres and metres, plus an overall recommended range. Pass a resolution (720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K or 8K) and it also gives the pixel-acuity distance, the point beyond which a 20/20 viewer can no longer resolve individual pixels, so moving closer stops adding detail. The screensize endpoint reverses it: from a seating distance it recommends the screen diagonal for each standard. The fov endpoint gives the horizontal field of view for a screen at a distance, with a verdict on whether it falls in the recommended range. The geometry is exact: width = diagonal × aspect-width / hypot(aspect), and distance = (width/2) / tan(angle/2). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for home-theatre and AV apps, TV and monitor retail tools, room and seating planners, and AV-installer calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is viewing-distance geometry; for pixel density (PPI) from a resolution use a PPI API.

DLive Streaming API
Live data from DLive, the blockchain-based livestreaming platform, with no key. Look up any streamer's public profile (followers, following, partner status, whether they are live and what they are streaming); read DLive's front-page recommended channels; pull the live-stream directory ordered by trending/new; browse the game and category directory with live viewer counts; read a single category's detail; and search streamers by name. The creator / livestreaming / audience-stats layer for stream dashboards, creator tools, analytics and discovery — distinct from the Kick and other streaming readers. Live from DLive; short cache only.

AcFun Rankings & Video API
Live rankings and video engagement from AcFun (acfun.cn, "A站"), the pioneering Chinese ACG (anime-comic-game) video community, read keyless from AcFun's public ranking endpoint and video pages. Founded in 2007, AcFun is the platform that brought danmaku (bullet comments scrolling across the video) to China and is the cultural older sibling of Bilibili, with its own famously devoted fandom and its signature "banana" votes — the currency fans throw at videos they love. The ranking endpoint returns AcFun's video ranking over a period (day, three days or week), optionally for one channel, each video with its views, danmaku, likes, banana votes, favourites, shares and comments, its uploader and their follower count, duration and tags. The video endpoint returns one video in full by its AcFun id (the "ac" number) — the same engagement figures plus the description, read from the video page's embedded data. This is the AcFun platform cut — a distinct social and video platform, separate from Bilibili and the other video and social feeds in the catalogue, with its own banana-vote culture. Banana votes are AcFun-specific (a fan vote, not views or likes); danmaku are the scrolling comments. Counts are the real, live numbers AcFun shows; a short cache fronts the upstream. Keyless.

Niconico Video API
Live video, search and engagement data from Niconico (nicovideo.jp), the pioneering Japanese video platform that invented danmaku — the comments that scroll across the video itself — read keyless from Niconico's public Snapshot Search API and video-info endpoint. Niconico is one of Japan's biggest video communities, the home of Vocaloid, "Let's Play" culture and a vast catalogue with videos counting tens of millions of views and millions of overlaid comments. This exposes what is popular, who is watching and how each video is performing across Niconico's distinctive engagement signals — views, the famous scrolling comments, mylist bookmarks and likes. The search endpoint finds videos by keyword, sorted by views, comments, mylists, likes or upload date — the way to surface the platform's most-watched and most-discussed content. The tag endpoint browses an exact Niconico tag (the platform's main discovery axis — VOCALOID, ゲーム/games, 音楽/music, アニメ/anime) ranked by views, so you can see what leads a category. The video endpoint returns one video's full detail by its watch id (the sm/nm/so id), including its description, tags, length, upload date and uploader. This is the Niconico platform cut — a distinct social/video platform, separate from the YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok, BitChute and other platform feeds in the catalogue. View, comment, mylist and like counts are live; nothing is stored beyond a short cache. Counts are integers; dates are as the platform reports them (JST).
