anime-termux

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

Install

pip install anime-termux

Then install curl_cffi for fully automatic Cloudflare bypass (no cookie setup needed):

pip install curl_cffi

Recommended (fastest downloads):

pkg install aria2   # 16-thread segmented downloading
pkg install ffmpeg  # video merging

Usage

anime                        # just run it
anime --dir=/sdcard/MyAnime  # custom download folder
anime --setup                # manually refresh CF cookie (rarely needed)

Cloudflare bypass — how it works

Method	How	Setup needed?
curl_cffi ✅	TLS fingerprint impersonation (Chrome 120)	pip install curl_cffi then nothing
Chrome auto-extract	Reads cookie from Chrome's SQLite DB	Linux desktop / rooted Android only
Manual wizard	You paste the cookie once	Fallback for any platform

If curl_cffi is installed, anime starts immediately with no prompts.
If it's not installed, the tool tries to auto-read from Chrome, then falls back to a one-time manual wizard.

Features

• Zero-setup with curl_cffi — pip install curl_cffi and anime just works, no cookie copy-paste ever
• Real-time search — suggestions from the first character you type; Tab to autocomplete
• Quality picker — 360p / 480p / 720p / 1080p / best
• Segmented download — aria2c x16 connections (falls back to yt-dlp 8-fragment mode)
• Episode range — single ep, ranges (2-8), comma lists (1,5,10), or all
• Skip existing — already-downloaded episodes are skipped automatically
• Custom directory — anime --dir=/path/to/folder

Output

/sdcard/Anime/{Anime Title}/{Anime Title} - Ep001.mp4

If curl_cffi doesn't work

curl_cffi bypasses Cloudflare by impersonating a real browser's TLS fingerprint. This works on residential and mobile IPs. It may fail if you're on a VPN or proxy. In that case, run anime --setup to use the cookie-based method instead.
