I did almost this exact same thing back in 2015~ ish when I was in high school over Christmas break. I reverse engineered the anime streaming site Crunchyroll's API via their Android and PS3 app using some HTTP proxy application and trial + error. I ended having a proper HLS-based streaming player and Android TV app back when their Android app was still Flash based. It was lots of fun!


2015/2016 was exactly when I was doing the above job. We could've hired you as an intern!


Also this would have been winter of 2014 and into early 2015, so a bit before :)

Sadly the CR forums are gone, so my rather popular thread that had feedback and support is long gone.


Maybe! I considered pursuing a job there at the time, but I opted to get a degree instead. Being located in the Midwest would've made it rather challenging anyways.
