EverythingStar Enchor

the wire contract

One search.
One playlist.

This is an EverythingStar on-demand playlist for Chorus Encore. The game sends the jukebox search field as q; the provider calls the public Enchor API and returns .sng playlist entries.

Endpoints

GET /ondemand.json
GET /ondemand.json?q=code%20monkey
GET /ondemand.json?q=https%3A%2F%2Fenchor.us%2Fchart%2F<md5>
GET /sng/<md5>.sng

No q returns the capability document. A text query searchesapi.enchor.us. An Enchor chart URL resolves that one chart through the API’s hash search. The answer is the normal playlist document with a songs array.

What an entry looks like

Each entry points its song at the proxy path for the chart package, and carries the title, artist, album, art, duration, preview cue and an offer built from Enchor’s noteCounts. medium becomes EverythingStar’snormal; a vocal chart becomes voice.chartType: "vocals", a lyrics-only chart becomes "lyrics".

CORS and packaging

files.enchor.us does not send Access-Control-Allow-Origin, and EverythingStar fetches the whole package with fetch. The/sng/ route proxies the file, adds CORS and forwards Range requests. It does not store the package. The proxy only accepts a 32-character MD5 and the fixed Enchor host.

Search caching

Search answers are cached for five minutes at the edge. The public Enchor API has its own rate limits; when it reports one, this provider returns 503 withRetry-After so the game offers Try again.

EverythingStar contract

The full playlist, song and chart contract is the game’sPLAYLIST-API.md. The `.sng` package is described in §4.7. The official Enchor desktop client isBridge; this provider uses its public API, not its UI.

Charts come from Chorus Encore and remain their creators’ work. This is not an official Enchor or Bridge service, and it does not scrape either.
