Quick Setup

Before you begin to automate your favourite anime downloading you need to install the required dependencies.

1. Cloning the repo

The first step would be to clone the repo.

2. Getting Dependencies

  • Selenium : Core for automation.
  • Cloudscrapper : For getting html.
  • BeautifulSoup : Used for scrapping.
  • Python Dotenv : For loading env.

Chrome diver download link : Official download link

You need to download the exact version of chromedriver as your chrome browser. For checking the version of your chrome browser , you can type chrome://version/ in search bar and hit enter to check the version.

3. Installing packages

All packages are listed in the requirements.txt all you need to so is run this simple command :

pip install -r requirements.txt

This command recursively downloads the required python packages and install them.

Dev tip : Use a virtual environment to prevent making the packages global which might cause conflicts !

3. Setting up environment variables

After successfully installing chrome driver and python packages , you need to setup some environment variables to get things ready to be in action. You can do so by filling up required envs values in .env file.

Environment vars :

• WEBDRIVER_PATH : Requires the absolute path of chromedriver.exe file you downloaded.
• DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY : Sets the default download directory path to which the downloads will be stored.
• ANIME_DOWNLOAD_LINK : Sets the anime download link.
• DOWNLOAD_QUALITY : Sets the quality.

You need to get the link for ANIME_DOWNLOAD_LINK from the embtaku.pro ( former gogo-play.tv) website in an exact pattern like : https://embtaku.pro/videos/one-piece-episode

Accepted values for DOWNLOAD_QUALITY are 420p , 720p, 360p & 1080p.

Sample of a .env file :

WEBDRIVER_PATH = "C:\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe"
DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY = "D:\Anime\One-Piece"
ANIME_DOWNLOAD_LINK = "https://embtaku.pro/videos/one-piece-episode"
DOWNLOAD_QUALITY = "720p"

4. Downloading

You need to run these following commands which are basically flags .

Flags

• link : Used to replace the original ANIME_DOWNLOAD_LINK if present in .env file with the param passed in cli.
• start : Sets the episode from which the loop starts.
• max : Sets the maximum episodes to download . Basically helps in creating a range from start till start + max
