blackbeard

Api and cli that scrapes content from video providers.

You need curl-impersonate for being able to run the wcofun provider using: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl-impersonate-chrome.so

Installation

Make sure $(go env GOPATH) is on your PATH and run:

go install github.com/matheusfillipe/blackbeard@latest

Then check the help with blackbeard -h

To get cloudflare blocked providers to work you need curl-impersonate. On archlinux you can: yay -S curl-impersonate-chrome.

After curl-impersonate is installed, run it like:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libcurl-impersonate-chrome.so blackbeard

Usage

You can run or connect to an api using either -api or -connect. You can also adjust -port and -host. If you just run it without arguments you will have an interactive fuzzy interface similar to fzf that will let you download whatever episode. You can mark multiple episodes by hitting or holding TAB.

You can test this without having to compile curl-impersonate using the heroku api:

blackbeard -connect https://blackbeard.fly.dev/

Example usage

List providers

blackbeard -list

Search and output to stdout

blackbeard -provider wcofun -search "attack on titan" -list

If you remove the -list it will go to the fzf prompt and proceed to download

List episodes for a show

blackbeard -provider wcofun -search "attack on titan" -show 1 -list

Download an ep directly, no prompt

blackbeard -provider wcofun -search "attack on titan" -show 1 -ep 1

Download all episodes with 4 downloads in parallel using the api to scrape

blackbeard -provider wcofun -search "attack on titan" -show 1 -D -x 4 -connect https://blackbeardapi.herokuapp.com/
