KatRevive is a project to allow revival of the Kickass Torrents API dumps.

I apologise for this, but KatRevive will be down permanently from this location.

Ok DMCA, you win. Enough with the bullshit. It's gone.

This is the MySQL code needed to generate the database. By default, the username is root and the password is blank.
To use this, copy it into a MySQL terminal instance, or copy it into PHPMyAdmin or your respective MySQL manager.

This is the root file, and the file that you will use to view torrents. You can access other torrents by using the GET parameter of s.
This layout shows 5 columns.

• Verified: Displayed as a star
• Hash: The info hash for that specific torrent, this is unique in the db
• Name: The name of the torrent
• Category: What main category it was in on KAT, the DB also contains the category_id which allows for subcategories as well
• URLs: The torrent file link, and the magnet link

The installer file. Just run this, and select an import type.
Please note, these will need to be downloaded beforehand and added to the import_lists folder.

There are 2 example import files with the same torrent, to demonstrate. The actual imports can be downloaded elsewhere.

Just select the type you want to import, and hit the import button.

This shouldn't be accessed from anywhere, it will automatically be called by using the install.php file.
Please don't run this more than once, and please note that it will be slow when installing.

The API, will create a JSON formatted array of torrents. Is limited to 20 at a time, and can be browsed using the GET parameter s.

Used to generate MySQL imports of any dump.

Just ignore this, it's the favicon to load when using the site in a browser.

No need to touch this file, unless changing the db details. It's self contained and used in the other files.

Clone to your local or remote server using git clone https://github.com/PXgamer/KatRevive.git.

I have set this up to use MySQL with a username of root and no password. This can be changed in the funcs.php file, or during the install process.

Next, copy the code out of the create_db.sql file and run this in your MySQL administration tool. For example, in PHPMyAdmin, navigate to the SQL tab for the database, and paste it there. Then run this.

Copy your hourlydump.txt and/or dailydump.txt file(s) to the import_lists folder.

Open the install.php file in a browser, and check that no errors appear, if not, select the file you'd like to install. Then click import.

This can take a while depending on the number of torrents your file contains, I tested with 3 Million+ torrents in the data dump I had, which took roughly 5 minutes, alternatively you can generate a MySQL import file using the gen_sql_import.php file.

The database is called kat_db by default and contains a single table t_collection. This table contains 10 columns, as follows:

• torrent_info_hash
• torrent_name
• torrent_category
• torrent_info_url
• torrent_download_url
• size
• category_id
• files_count
• upload_date
• verified
