AnimePahe Downloader
Downloads anime from animepahe.com with automatic Cloudflare bypass — no cookies to paste, no manual steps.
How It Works
- First run: opens your system Chrome browser for ~5–10 seconds to solve the Cloudflare challenge automatically
- Saves the session cookies locally (
~/.cache/animepahe-dl-tmux/) - All subsequent requests use curl_cffi (Chrome TLS fingerprint) with the cached cookies — no browser opened again
- If cookies expire (~24 h), the browser re-opens automatically and refreshes them
- kwik.si stream URLs are decoded by running the page's obfuscated JS through Node.js
- ffmpeg downloads the HLS stream to MP4
Requirements
- Chrome or Chromium installed on your system (used for the initial Cloudflare bypass)
- Node.js in PATH — for kwik.si stream decoding — https://nodejs.org
- ffmpeg in PATH — for HLS download — https://ffmpeg.org
Installation
pip install animepahe-dl-tmux
No other setup needed — just run it.
