Inventory

During research I stumbled upon this endpoint: https://nhentai.net/api/inventory. I can't make much sense of it now, but maybe someone else will be able to draw more conclusions from it based on this script.

Response

{
  "name": "g",
  "delta": 0
}

It's not awfully important to understand what this means but it may turn out to be a gateway to more interesting features.

{
  "name": "g",
  "delta": 34905539
}

This value is sometimes zero, and sometimes it's not. There's also this code snippet that I could trace back to this endpoint:

e.show = function() {
            if (this.options.show_popunders) {
                var t = this.get_state().lock_until;
                if (!(t > o.l() && t <= o.l() + 864e5)) {
                    this.update_lock(14e3);
                    var e = this;
                    Object(g.a)({
                        url: "/api/inventory",
                        method: "GET"
                    }).then((function(t) {
                        try {
                            var n = JSON.parse(t.response)
                        } catch (t) {
                            return
                        }
                        e.on_inventory(n)
                    }
                    )).execute()
                }
            }
        }

I think key to understanding what this invocation does is to be sought in e.on_inventory's definition:

e.on_inventory = function(t) {
    t.delta > 0 ? this.update_lock(t.delta) : (this.time_until_next = t.delta,
    this.add_popunder(t.name))
}

So delta seems to be some sort of time delta (in seconds) or a timestamp:

>>> from datetime import datetime as dt, timezone
>>> print(dt.fromtimestamp(34_905_539, tz=timezone.utc))
1971-02-08 23:58:59+00:00
>>> print(f"hours={34_905_539 / 3_600}")
hours=9695.983055555556
>>> print(f"years={34_905_539 / (3_600 * 24 * 365.25)}")
years=1.1060897850280123

Still not really sure what to make out of it. There're many one-letter functions whose purpose I have trouble to grasp, too. My best guess is that delta is a time span denoted in seconds. But this doesn't really answer my question: what happened over one year ago? Curious.
