Working with undocumented APIs is a pain in the ass

I've been working with the REST API found in the Show Box android app used for watching free movies, tv shows, etc. It is a very popular app but there isn't an online web version, so I used a proxy and started reverse engineering the API to make my own.
Here is my reddit post (very new to actual reddit xD):

Here is the web app so far:

Did you know that the majority of the updated APIs of STiBaRC are largely undocumented, and are left to creators to figure out by reverse engineering my usage of it? There's also the occasional documentation on the dev Slack, but it's all very vague.
@herronjo Yeah, but Show Box doesn't even show how they use it. I barely have some of the REST requests let alone source code. STiBaRC is all on GitHub, Show Box has almost nothing and the source of the API changes often.
Fix the id issue herronjo
