Which of a title's other names are safe to accept, given its primary one.

Regional titles are mostly a gift — a film uploaded as "Corredora" or "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" is still the film. But TMDB lists "The Runner" as the US title of a Greek 2026 film called Runner, and accepting that hands back every release of the other 2026 film called The Runner — the exact confusion this is all here to end.

So an alternative name that is the primary one plus or minus a leading article is dropped. It cannot be told apart from the neighbouring title, and the primary name is the one the user picked.

Wrap a torrent already downloaded in the debrid account as a top-ranked source.

Query for an anime episode. Nyaa releases use absolute episode numbers and fansub naming ([SubsPlease] Frieren - 12), so we drop any : subtitle and append the (zero-padded) episode number as a plain search term.

Search for an anime episode, combining per-episode releases and whole-series batch/season packs (older shows like GTO exist mostly as batches). Per-episode results rank first (exact file); batches follow (RD selects the episode file). Deduped by infohash.

Returns {:ok, sources, :episode | :series | :mixed}.

Query for an anime movie — just the cleaned title.

Query for an anime episode in Title S01E02 form. The streaming-rip groups (ToonsHub, AnoZu, Yameii...) name episodes that way, and a bare Title 02 query barely matches them — for a show carried by those groups this is the difference between one result and nine.

Does this release name look like a season pack rather than one episode?

"Complete", "Season 2", a bare S01 with no episode after it, a 01-24 range.

Pick one page of sources to probe, sampled across resolution tiers.

Strictly taking the top of the ranking gives a wall of 2160p — someone who wants 1080p would have to probe (and rate-limit) through every 4K release before the first 1080p is even checked. Each page instead takes the best few from each tier (3× 2160p, 3× 1080p, 1× 720p), backfilling the remaining slots by overall rank. Returns {page, rest}; the page keeps the overall ranking order, so cached/library releases still lead.

A title spelled the way indexers spell it: accents folded to plain letters and anything still outside ASCII dropped, because that is what uploaders type — "Amélie" is uploaded as "Amelie", and searching the accented form finds none of it. Falls back to the title unchanged when folding leaves nothing, as it does for a title written in another script.

Does this release name actually name this title?

2026 gave us both Runner and The Runner, and a text indexer asked for one hands back the other — every public source for "Runner 2026" is in fact The Runner. So the test is exact: the part of the name before the release year (or the SxxEyy tag, for a show) must BE the title. A leading article makes it a different film, not a near-enough match, which is the point.

titles is every name the title legitimately goes by — TMDB's own, plus its original-language one, since a foreign release is named in its own language and is still the right film. Any of them matching is a match.

Anything the name gives no grounds to judge is let through: no year or season tag in it, or titles that all normalise to nothing, as a Japanese one does. This is here to tell two titles apart, not to police naming.

Is this release at or below cap?

An untagged release passes. Most of a real list carries no resolution in the name, and a missing tag is not evidence of 4K — refusing them would throw away more than it protects.
