ShortDramaRank standards
How the catalog and rankings are produced
How ShortDramaRank collects, validates, ranks, and updates short-drama and app information.
Public-source collection
We use publicly accessible app-store listings, official app or catalog pages, and directly observed public metadata. A collection record is not treated as a verified plot summary by itself.
Quality gates
Before a drama can be indexed or recommended, the system checks for a unique route, a substantive non-placeholder description, a usable cover, episode or platform evidence, and content that matches the page language. Records that fail these checks may remain reachable for users but are excluded from indexing and recommendation surfaces.
App rankings
App rankings combine current public ranking observations with catalog coverage, source availability, and freshness. The ranking is refreshed by an automated server job and displays its effective report date on the page.
App-to-drama attribution
A drama is associated with an app only when public catalog, store, or other directly verifiable evidence supports the relationship. The same title can appear under more than one app when the evidence supports multiple distributions.
Update cycle
New collection data is validated, normalized, rendered through shared templates, linked into language catalogs, added to the sitemap when eligible, and then verified after publication.
