Examples:

If you're on Windows, use py like indicated below, otherwise replace py with python3 if you're on Linux/Mac.

(include -p flag) Conducts multiple searches: Runs a search for each of the input directory's child items. ie. If input path is a season pack that contains 10 files, a search will be conducted for each file (10 total searches)

py CrossSeedAutoDL.py -p -i "D:\TorrentClientDownloadDir\complete" -s "D:\DownloadedTorrents" -u "http://127.0.0.1:9117" -k "cb42579eyh4j11ht5sktjswq89t89q5t" -t blutopia

Search for a single item, a video file (omit -p flag)

py CrossSeedAutoDL.py -i "D:\TorrentClientDownloadDir\complete\My.Movie.2010.720p.mkv" -s "D:\DownloadedTorrents" -u "http://127.0.0.1:9117" -k "cb42579eyh4j11ht5sktjswq89t89q5t" -t blutopia,passthepopcorn

Search for a single item, a season pack (omit -p flag)

py CrossSeedAutoDL.py -i "D:\TorrentClientDownloadDir\complete\My.Show.Season.06.Complete" -s "D:\DownloadedTorrents" -u "http://127.0.0.1:9117" -k "cb42579eyh4j11ht5sktjswq89t89q5t" -t blutopia,broadcasthenet,morethantv
