A modern CLI to download animes automatically from Twist
Kurby is a nice and simple CLI that use Twist website, and their huge collection to download animes for free and automatically
Animes from Twist are generally in High Definition with English subtitles. Please consider donating for their amazing work :)
The CLI is built with Typer and it is composed of 3 commands
animes
: Search animes to find what is available and extract the slug to be used in the other commands
--search
option allows you to make a fuzzy search
details
: Show details of an anime if neededYou can see the number of episodes available and when the first and last episode were uploaded
download
: Choose and download which episodes of the anime you want !Because sometimes bad things can happen, Kurby will automatically retry for you
You can also download without having a slug initially. In this case, Kurby will propose you a selection
You can also use kurby --help
to get more information on the different commands
pip install kurby
kurby --help

kurby-cli --help # or python kurby-cli --help
An interesting use case is to get the latest episode of an anime as soon as it is available.
This is possible on Linux using crontab
(or another equivalent on others OS) and a little tweak of chemistry.
Here is an example of a few instructions that can help you do this.
now=$(date -u "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
date=$(cat kurby.date || echo $now) # Get the date of previous download
python kurby download {{YOUR_ANIME}} --dfrom=${DATE} # Download any episodes that has been uploaded since the last time
echo $now > kurby.date # Store the current date as the new date
Kurby is already functional as it is but here are the next things I would like to add :
