**Note**:
- For Cloudflare scraping either [cfscrape](https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape) or [selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/) is used. [Cfscrape](https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape) depends on [`node-js`](https://nodejs.org/en/) and [selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/) utilizes an automated invisible instance of a browser (chrome/firefox). So, if you want to use Cloudflare enabled sites, make sure you have [node-js](https://nodejs.org/en/) and a [webdriver](https://www.selenium.dev/selenium/docs/api/py/index.html#drivers) installed.
- You might have to use pip3 depending on your system
- To install this project with gui and all its dependencies, add `#egg=anime-downloader[gui]` to the pip command you are using to install it. Example: `pip install --force-reinstall -U git+https://github.com/anime-dl/anime-downloader#egg=anime_downloader[gui]`
- To install this project with selescrape (if you are using GUI, ignore this line), do the same as above - but with `#egg=anime-downloader[selescrape]`
- To install this project with jsbeautifier run `pip install --force-reinstall -U git+https://github.com/anime-dl/anime-downloader#egg=anime-downloader[unpacker]`

## Usage

See [docs](https://anime-downlader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/dl.html).

Anime Downloader has six (6) sub-commands, `dl`, `watch`, `gui`, `config`, `ezdl` and `test`.

- [dl](https://anime-downlader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/dl.html): `dl` can download anime.
- ezdl: Uses metadata agents to unify providers and also auto select a result if the search argument is close to the anime title.
- [watch](https://anime-downlader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/watch.html): `watch` can manage your anime watch list. Needs [mpv](https://mpv.io).
- [config](https://anime-downlader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/config.html): can manage the configuration for anime dl.
- test: Tests all the providers, not the most reliable command as the results may be faulty.
- gui: opens a PyQT gui that allows for non commandline downloading and streaming.

**To use `anime_downloader` in your package:**

This tool can be used as a library. This means you can import it into your own applications and search for anime and do many other wonderful things.
See [documentation](https://anime-downlader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/api.html).
