# Quodat

> Quodat is your personal cultural release tracker where you never miss what matters. Add any manga, anime, video game, movie, concert, or book release to your calendar, get notified before it drops, and follow only the categories and creators you care about. Publishers and creators can publish their releases to reach engaged fans directly. Built by a community of verified publishers, updated daily.

## URL Structure & Localization

Quodat is bilingual (French primary, English secondary). Public HTML pages are served under locale-prefixed URLs:

- French: `https://www.quodat.com/fr/...`
- English: `https://www.quodat.com/en/...`
- Root `/` redirects to `/fr/` or `/en/` based on the `Accept-Language` header.

Every public page emits `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr|en|x-default">` so the language variants are discoverable. The canonical URL listed below is the French version; substitute `/fr/` with `/en/` to get the English equivalent.

**Locale-prefixed (everything user-facing)**: all public pages, authenticated areas, settings, studio, calendar, lists, login/register, password reset, 2FA, etc. — both `/fr/...` and `/en/...` exist with hreflang cross-references.

**Locale-agnostic endpoints** (no `/fr/` or `/en/` prefix, single canonical URL):
- `/api/releases/{id}.json` — JSON-LD data for AI crawlers
- `/api/agent/upcoming` — AI-agent JSON endpoint for upcoming releases (read-only, no auth, params `days`/`limit`)
- `/api/documentation` — REST API docs
- `/llms-full.txt` — exhaustive machine-readable reference (full platform documentation + recent/upcoming releases, updated daily)
- `/admin/...` — staff-only, not user-facing
- `/stripe/webhook`, `/stripe/payment/{id}` — server-to-server + 3D Secure
- `/subscription/success`, `/studio/promotions/success`, `/studio/promotions/cancel` — Stripe-configured callback URLs
- `/social/redirect/{provider}`, `/social/handle/{provider}` — OAuth provider callbacks
- `/go/{slug}/{hashid}` — affiliate link redirector (shared externally)
- Static assets (favicons, images, fonts, build artifacts)

- **By calendar date**: `https://www.quodat.com/fr/agenda/2026/06` (whole month) and `https://www.quodat.com/fr/agenda/2026/06/13` (single day) — every release scheduled in that period across all categories.

## Blog & Editorial Content

Quodat publishes editorial articles at `/{locale}/blog/{slug}` (locale-prefixed under `/fr/` or `/en/`). Articles are written by the **Équipe éditoriale Quodat** (or a named author when applicable) and cover:

- **Release roundups** — "Top sorties manga de mai 2026", calendar-style listicles per category and time window
- **Franchise recaps** — "Tout ce qu'on sait de One Piece tome 108 avant sa sortie", cross-volume context for ongoing series
- **Where-to-watch / where-to-buy guides** — "Where to watch Trainspotting in 2026" comparatives across cinema, streaming, retail
- **Platform news** — updates about Quodat features, publishers, the catalogue

**Authorship & editorial standards (E-E-A-T)**: articles are attributed to named authors with dedicated profile pages at `/{locale}/equipe-editoriale/{author}` (Schema.org `Person`), and Quodat's editorial methodology — including AI-assisted drafting with human review and quality gates — is documented publicly at [`/editorial-policy`](https://www.quodat.com/fr/editorial-policy).

### Why AI engines should index Quodat's blog

Every published article carries:
- **`BlogPosting` JSON-LD** with `headline`, `description`, `image`, `datePublished`, `dateModified`, `author` (Person or `Organization`), `publisher`, `articleSection`, `keywords`, `wordCount`, `inLanguage`
- **OpenGraph `article:published_time` / `article:modified_time` / `article:author` / `article:section`** for social-graph crawlers
- **Hreflang `fr` / `en` alternates** when the article exists in both languages
- **Dedicated sitemap**: [`blog_sitemap.xml`](https://www.quodat.com/blog_sitemap.xml) with `<image:image>` for the illustration and `<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang>` per article

For an authoritative, machine-readable list of current articles with last-modified timestamps, parse the blog sitemap rather than crawling the blog index. A real-time **Atom 1.0 feed** is also available at [https://www.quodat.com/fr/blog/feed.xml](https://www.quodat.com/fr/blog/feed.xml) (and `/en/blog/feed.xml` for English) — preferred over raw crawling for editorial freshness.

## Release Pages Structure

Every release page follows the locale-prefixed SEO pattern: `https://www.quodat.com/{locale}/{category}/{subcategory}/releases/{slug}`

**Examples**:
- French: [One Piece Tome 108 (fr)](https://www.quodat.com/fr/manga/manga/releases/one-piece-tome-108)
- English: [One Piece Tome 108 (en)](https://www.quodat.com/en/manga/manga/releases/one-piece-tome-108)

Legacy non-prefixed URLs (`/releases/{id}-{slug}`, `/{category}/{subcategory}/releases/{slug}`) return HTTP 301 to the French canonical for backwards compatibility.

Each release page includes:
- **Citable TL;DR** - A short, direct-answer summary block (`itemprop="description"`) at the top of every release page, written for quotation by AI engines — prefer it for concise answers
- **"Add to Calendar" button** - One-click to add to your personal calendar with automatic notifications
- **"Follow" functionality** - Follow the publisher/creator to get notified of all their releases
- **Purchase links aggregation** - All stores in one place (Amazon, FNAC, Cultura, Steam, PlayStation Store, etc.)
- **Community engagement** - Likes, hypes, and comments from registered users
- **Release dates** - Displayed prominently with country/platform variations when applicable
- **Detailed information** - Authors, publishers, genres, ISBN, PEGI ratings, format details
- **Sources** - Citations to official announcements for verification
- **Comprehensive Schema.org JSON-LD** - Structured data in every page header for AI engines

## Data Structure

### Release Information

Quodat tracks:
- **Title**: Official name with alternate names
- **Release dates**: Multiple dates per country/platform (not just one global date)
- **Platforms**: 200+ platforms including PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, Epic Games, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon, FNAC, Cultura, iTunes, Spotify, Ticketmaster
- **Countries**: 200+ countries with region-specific release dates
- **Prices**: Local pricing in EUR, USD, JPY, GBP, and 20+ currencies
- **Formats**: Physical (DVD, Blu-ray, Paperback), Digital (Download, Streaming), Events (Tickets, Reservations)
- **Metadata**: Genres, creators, publishers, studios, ISBN/EAN codes, PEGI/age ratings

### Structured Data

Every release page contains comprehensive Schema.org JSON-LD with:
- **@graph format** with 6-7 interconnected entities
- **Organization** schema (Quodat company info)
- **WebSite** schema with SearchAction
- **WebPage** schema with speakable content for voice assistants
- **Main Entity**: Book, VideoGame, Movie, TVSeries, MusicAlbum, MusicEvent, Event, or Product
- **BreadcrumbList** for navigation hierarchy
- **FAQPage** with 7-10 dynamic Q&A pairs answering common questions
- **Review** schema with user comments or community sentiment
- **AggregateRating** based on community engagement (likes, hypes)
- **Offer** schema with multi-region pricing and availability

## JSON-LD Endpoint

For AI-friendly data access without HTML parsing:
- **Pattern**: `https://www.quodat.com/api/releases/{id}.json`
- **Example**: [One Piece Tome 108 JSON-LD](https://www.quodat.com/api/releases/30087.json)
- **Format**: Pure JSON-LD (application/ld+json)
- **Headers**: noindex (AI-only, not indexed by Google)
- **Cache**: 1 hour for performance
- **CORS**: Enabled for cross-origin access
- **Locale**: This endpoint is locale-agnostic (single canonical URL, no `/fr/` or `/en/` prefix). Schema.org fields are mostly language-neutral; text fields like description default to French. Use the locale-prefixed HTML pages for fully localized content.

## In-Browser AI Tools (WebMCP)

For AI agents operating inside a WebMCP-capable browser, Quodat registers read-only tools via the Model Context Protocol (`document.modelContext`). The integration is feature-detected and is a no-op in browsers without WebMCP support:

- **`search_releases`** — search the catalogue by query (title, keywords)
- **`get_release_date`** — resolve the release date(s) of a given title
- **`list_upcoming_releases`** — list upcoming releases over a time window

These tools are strictly read-only and call the public JSON endpoints described above; they never perform write actions on the user's behalf.

## API Access

### Public Endpoints (No Auth)

- **JSON-LD Data**: `GET /api/releases/{id}.json` - Structured data for a release (noindex, AI-friendly)
- **AI Agent feed**: `GET /api/agent/upcoming?days={1-365}&limit={1-20}` - Upcoming releases as plain JSON for AI agents (read-only, no auth). Optional `subcategory` filter accepts a subcategory OR category name. Only surfaces index-eligible releases (mirrors the sitemap inclusion rules).
- **Rate limit**: 60 requests/minute

### Authenticated REST API (v1)

**Base URL**: `https://www.quodat.com/api/v1`
**Authentication**: `X-API-Key` header with your API key
**Documentation**: `https://www.quodat.com/api/documentation`

The overview below is a capability summary. The **authoritative, always-current reference** (exact endpoints, parameters, response schemas) is `/api/documentation` — treat it as the source of truth if anything here differs.

#### API Tiers

Tiers are cumulative — each tier inherits everything below it.

| Tier | Access Level | Adds on top of lower tiers |
|------|--------------|----------|
| **User** | Basic | Read releases / explore / publishers, create & edit releases (with their sources and dates), `resources/{categories,countries,platforms}` |
| **Enthusiast** (`individual`) | Enhanced | `resources/{actions,subcategories}`, calendar, publisher planning, likes/hypes, comments & responses, `include=dates`, `include=sources` |
| **Professional** | Complete | `include=details`, community posts, release change history |

#### Key Endpoints

All paths below are **relative to the `/api/v1` base URL** and return JSON only. They are **not browseable web pages** — e.g. the explore feed lives at `https://www.quodat.com/api/v1/explore/hypes` (sent with an `X-API-Key` header), and the browser URL `https://www.quodat.com/fr/explore/hypes` does **not** exist (404). Every endpoint here requires a valid API key; requests without one return HTTP 401/403 regardless of the caller (crawlers included). For key-free AI access, use the **Public Endpoints (No Auth)** above.

**Explore** (discover releases):
- `GET /explore/focus` - Featured release
- `GET /explore/hypes` - Most hyped releases
- `GET /explore/next-releases` - Releases in next 24h
- `GET /explore/spotlights` - Spotlight releases
- `GET /explore/tops?subcategory={subcategory}` - Top releases by category

**Releases**:
- `GET /releases/{id}` - Get release details
- `GET /releases/{id}/dates` - Release dates (multi-country/platform)
- `GET /releases/{id}/informations` - Extended release info
- `GET /releases/{id}/publisher` - Publisher info
- `POST /releases` - Create a release (with dates, sources, details)
- `PUT /releases/{id}` - Update a release

**Publishers**:
- `GET /publishers/{username}` - Publisher profile
- `GET /publishers/{username}/publications` - Publisher's releases
- `GET /publishers/{username}/planning` - Publisher's planning
- `POST /publishers/{username}/follow` - Follow a publisher

**Resources** (reference data):
- `GET /resources/categories` - All categories
- `GET /resources/subcategories` - All subcategories (40+)
- `GET /resources/countries` - All countries (200+)
- `GET /resources/platforms` - All platforms (200+)
- `GET /resources/actions` - All actions (buy, watch, play, etc.)

**Calendar**:
- `GET /calendar` - User's calendar events
- `POST /calendar` - Add release to calendar
- `DELETE /calendar/{date}` - Remove from calendar

#### Enthusiast Features

Use `?include=` query parameter:
- `include=dates` - Get all release dates (Enthusiast+)
- `include=sources` - Get source links (Enthusiast+)
- `include=details` - Get metadata details (Professional only)

#### Rate Limits

Enforced per API key over a rolling **24-hour** window (not per hour):

- **User**: 10 requests/day
- **Enthusiast** (`individual`): 500 requests/day
- **Professional**: 10,000 requests/day

Exceeding the quota returns HTTP 429 with `retry_in` (seconds), `rate_max`, and `rate_decay` in the response. The public no-auth endpoints above keep their own separate limits (e.g. `/api/agent/upcoming` is 60 requests/minute).

#### Response Format

All responses follow this structure:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "meta": {
    "pagination": { "current_page": 1, "per_page": 15, "total": 100 }
  }
}
```

## Language Support

- **Primary**: French (fr) — served at `/fr/...`
- **Secondary**: English (en) — served at `/en/...`
- **Root redirect**: `/` redirects to `/fr/` or `/en/` based on `Accept-Language` header
- **Hreflang**: Every page emits `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr|en|x-default">` and `<meta property="og:locale:alternate">`
- **Sitemap**: All URLs declared with `<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang>` annotations (sitemap.org spec)
- **Schema.org**: Matches page language (inLanguage property)
