You must have nodejs and npm and aria2c installed on your computer, preferably the more recent versions. Type this into your commandline.
``
npm install -g anigrab
And you should be ready to get started using anigrab
Downloading an anime is as simple as typing in the name of an anime which initiates a search for the anime. Ensure you have aria2c installed which is what is used for downloading otherwise downloading will not work. For example:
`
anigrab beastars -e 10
This will make anigrab download episode 10 of Beastars from animekisa by default, to specify a site you can use the -s flag
`
anigrab beastars -e 10 -s gogoanime
This will download Beastars episode 10 from gogoanime. If you want to get a little more specific in the episodes of the anime you want you can do this:
`
anigrab beastars -e 1,5,10:12
This may look complicated at first but it basically means this will download episodes 1, 5, 10, 11 and 12 of the anime Beastars. Giving the direct link of the anime works as well:
`
anigrab "https://www18.gogoanime.io/category/black-clover-tv"
Will download Black Clover from gogoanime
You can specify some command line flags that affect the behavior of anigrab, these are:
`
--help shows this help message
-q, --quality quality of the video, can be 720p or 1080p or any other resolution
-e, --episodes episodes to get for example "1,2,5:10"
-w, --write writes stream urls by appending them to a file named anime.txt in current working directory
-s, --site the site to get the anime from, choose animepahe, gogoanime etc.
-u, --url prints stream url of episode
--fb, --fallback comma separated string of qualities to choose if quality asked for is not found e.g 360p, 480p
-d, --directory the directory to download the file to
--sk, --skip skips downloading the file
--xd, --external-downloader the external downloader to use to download the file, aria2c by default and currently aria2c only supported
--ft, --filter-title regular expression to filter episodes based on their titles
-p, --play plays the episode using mpv
`
anigrab has useful functions that try to intuitively fetch the information of an anime. Each file that handles a site contains three functions it exports which are search, getAnime and getQualities. Usage is as imple as
#### Search, Get Anime and Get Qualities
`javascript
const { search, getAnime, getQualities } = require('anigrab').sites.siteLoader(
'animeout'
);
async function main() {
const searchResults = await search('naruto'); // Initiates a search for Naruto, this is a promise so can be awaited
const { url } = searchResults[0]; // Use destructuring to get url of search result at index 0
const anime = await getAnime(url); // Retrieves the title of the anime and it's episodes, again this is awaitable
const episodeURL = anime.episodes[0].url; // Episode objects contain their url, here we access the url of the episode at index 0 of the episode list
const qualities = await getQualities(episodeURL); // This retrieves the available qualities of the episode as a map of qualities pointing to an object with the server that is host and the referer to use
console.log(qualities);
}
main();
