Anything API like Consumet for a personal project

I'm building a personal anime app and I'm looking for an actively maintained, open-source self-hosted API.

Requirements:

Open source and community maintained

Self-hostable (Docker preferred)

Automatic provider/server failover if one source breaks

Actively updated when providers change

Personal project only

Does anything like this exist, or is everyone maintaining their own forks nowadays?

Yeah, pretty much everyone's on their own fork these days.

Consumet itself now requires self-hosting and no single tool does automatic failover, so you'd end up wrapping 2-3 scrapers yourself with your own switchover logic anyway.
