A Ruby interface to Kickass Torrents
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'kat'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install kat
Kat.quick_search('game of thrones')
kat = Kat.search('game of thrones', { :category => 'tv' })
kat.search
Page searching is 0-based. The number of pages is set after a search is performed and returned
with the pages method.
kat.search(2) # Third page of results
kat.results[0] # First page of results
kat.pages # Total number of pages
The results method returns a list of torrent information per page. Each result has
title, magnet, download, size, files, age, seeds and leeches information. Complete lists
of each can be returned with:
kat.titles # List all titles...
kat.downloads # ...downloads...
kat.seeds # ...seeds etc
The Kat instance can be reused with the query= and options= methods.
kat.query = 'hell on wheels'
kat.options = { :seeds => 100 }
Either method resets the number of pages and the results cache.
In addition to the Kat class, there is also a binary which makes use of the class to do
some rudimentary searching and downloading of torrents. Invoke kat --help to get a
complete list of options.
