anime-termux

A user-friendly anime downloader CLI for Termux (Android), streaming from animepahe.pw.

Install

pip install anime-termux

Requirements (auto-installed via pip):

• curl_cffi — Cloudflare bypass (Chrome TLS impersonation)
• yt-dlp — episode extraction and downloading
• prompt_toolkit — live search UI

Recommended (install in Termux for fastest downloads):

pkg install aria2   # 16-thread segmented downloading
pkg install ffmpeg  # video merging (usually pre-installed with yt-dlp)

Usage

# Interactive mode
anime

# Custom download directory
anime --dir=/sdcard/MyAnime
anime --dir=/storage/external/Anime

Features

• Real-time search — suggestions as you type, Tab to autocomplete
• Cloudflare bypass — curl_cffi impersonates Chrome 120 so CF challenges pass
• Quality picker — choose 360p / 480p / 720p / 1080p / best
• Segmented download — aria2c with 16 connections (falls back to yt-dlp's 8-fragment mode)
• Episode range — download single episodes, ranges, or mixed selections
• Skip existing — already-downloaded episodes are skipped automatically
• Custom directory — anime --dir=/path/to/folder

How it works

1. Searches AnimePahe API via curl_cffi (bypasses Cloudflare)
2. Shows paginated episode list
3. You pick episode range + quality
4. yt-dlp downloads via kwik.cx extraction with segmented aria2c
