How this endpoint behaves

Returns the three fixed title feeds on DramaBox's Android app search landing page, the ranking tabs and the app's preset search keyword.

This endpoint reads DramaBox's Android app API rather than its website pages. It needs no device, emulator or app at request time: the service reproduces the app's request signature and state header from public app material (the app's static signing key is a committed public constant, like the ReelShort signing keys) and keeps the anonymous guest session the app uses for catalogue calls internally. Only public catalog metadata is read, and no playable video is ever returned.

Query parameters: none.

Notable response behavior:

• hot is the app's "hot" list, trending its trending list and new_releases its new-release list. Each is a list of catalog cards with the same shape dramabox-rank returns (id, title, description, cover_url, url, tags, protagonist, in_library); each list was 20 titles upstream.
• rank_tabs lists the ranking tabs, each with the type to pass back to a ranking list and the app's display name. The app's own order is preserved (observed 2 Top Searched, 1 Most Trending, 3 New Releases) — do not assume it is sorted.
• preset_keyword is the word the app pre-fills in its search box; pass it to dramabox-search or dramabox-suggest.
• This route takes no parameters; there is no paging.
• Playable media, signed stream URLs, sprite/banner assets, the app's algorithmRecomDot / bookSource tracking blobs and per-user data are never returned.
