We know about the problem. We already looked into it, however this is used only by pproviders using XUI panel, and that panel has a very bad API description and it would take too long to create this by trial and error, therefore we stopped working on it for now.
There is absolutely no need for creating m3u by API. There is absolutely no benefit to it as it doesn't make anything easier to anybody nor does it add any feature that a normal m3u couldn't do.
Tell your iptv provider to go back to normal m3u lists or change the provider, or change the epg source, which I wouldn't recommend, because you get only crap by our competitors.
We will try to create a solution for this, but it won't happen soon as we have more important things on our list.

Yeah except for that no-one get even near your epg quality, the other issue is that their API doesn't allow to filter.
Hence a massive m3u to deal with in the client app
That's what I meant. The API has no advantage at all. You get massive m3u files no matter if it is generated as a m3u file or it is generated by an API.
There are providers who actually offer dashboards where you can filter groups and countries, but that has nothing to do with an API.

Why not just have a cron job that queries the api and downloads the m3u every so often and make it so the service and use that?
Should be pretty simple if your running linux anywhere or can even be done on windows with a few hacks if needed. As for making it available you can use any web server and password protect the page (windows has plenty of portable dev webservers, saw a few that even provide a free fqdn like fenix)
Just a thought on a work around till they get it sorted.

I have the same problem, hope you can solve it when you get time. Meanwhile I periodically download the API version and then upload the resulting static m3u file to epg.best. This takes care of avoiding duplicates and adds new links from updates, but can't support deleting obsolete links.
We made it a high priority task, because apparently more and more iptv provider use this useless API system, which adds exactly nothing to the experience for anybody.
