# ThePornDB Integration Guide

## Overview

Goondex integrates with [ThePornDB](https://theporndb.net) (TPDB) to fetch high-quality metadata for performers, studios, and scenes. TPDB is a community-driven database similar to IMDB but for adult content.

## Prerequisites

### 1. TPDB Account

1. Register at https://theporndb.net/register
2. Verify your email
3. Log in to your account

### 2. API Token

1. Navigate to https://theporndb.net/user/api-tokens
2. Click "Create New Token"
3. Give it a name (e.g., "Goondex")
4. Copy the generated token
5. **Save it securely** - it won't be shown again

### 3. Set Environment Variable

```bash
# Linux/macOS (add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for persistence)
export TPDB_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TPDB_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Windows (CMD)
set TPDB_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```

## Usage Examples

### Import a Performer

```bash
# Search and import Riley Reid
export TPDB_API_KEY="your-key"
goondex import performer "Riley Reid"
```

**What happens**:
1. Goondex queries TPDB API: `GET /performers?q=Riley+Reid`
2. TPDB returns matching performers (usually 1 exact match)
3. Goondex maps TPDB fields to internal model
4. Data is inserted into local SQLite database
5. Local ID is assigned and reported

### Import a Studio

```bash
# Import Brazzers
goondex import studio "Brazzers"
```

**What happens**:
1. Query: `GET /sites?q=Brazzers`
2. TPDB returns matching sites
3. Studios are created in local database

### Import a Scene

```bash
# Import a scene
goondex import scene "Big Wet Butts 24"
```

**What happens**:
1. Query: `GET /scenes?q=Big+Wet+Butts+24`
2. TPDB returns matching scenes with embedded performers, studio, and tags
3. **Studio** is imported/updated first
4. **Scene** is created with reference to studio
5. **Performers** are imported/updated
6. **Tags** are imported/updated
7. **Relationships** are created in junction tables

## API Rate Limiting

TPDB implements rate limiting to prevent abuse.

### Current Limits (as of 2024)
- **Requests per minute**: ~60
- **Requests per hour**: ~1000

### Best Practices

1. **Batch imports**: Import multiple items at once instead of one-by-one
2. **Cache locally**: Don't re-import already imported items
3. **Error handling**: Implement exponential backoff on 429 errors

### Handling Rate Limits

If you receive a `429 Too Many Requests` response:

```bash
# Wait 60 seconds
sleep 60

# Retry the command
goondex import performer "Riley Reid"
```

## Error Handling

### Common HTTP Status Codes

| Code | Meaning | Solution |
|------|---------|----------|
| 200 | Success | No action needed |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Check API key |
| 404 | Not Found | Item doesn't exist in TPDB |

### Goondex Error Messages

```bash
# Missing API key
Error: TPDB_API_KEY environment variable is not set

# API error
Error: failed to search TPDB: API returned status 401

# No results
No performers found on TPDB
```

## Advanced Usage

### Searching by ID

While Goondex doesn't currently expose this via CLI, you can fetch by TPDB ID programmatically by importing the TPDB scraper package and calling GetPerformerByID, GetStudioByID, or GetSceneByID.

### Pagination

TPDB returns paginated results. Goondex currently fetches only the first page (default 25 results). Future versions will support pagination.

## Data Quality
