AutoPahe

Search AnimePahe, prepare browser downloads, stream, and track episodes

Search AnimePahe, prepare browser-based episode downloads, stream where available, and manage records. Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).

🚀 Installation

With uv (recommended):

uv tool install autopahe
autopahe --setup

--setup writes the default config and installs Playwright's bundled Chromium engine in the same environment AutoPahe uses.

From source:

git clone https://github.com/haxsysgit/autopahe.git
cd autopahe
uv sync
uv run playwright install chromium
uv run autopahe --help

Update an existing install:

uv tool upgrade autopahe

For source installs, run:

git pull --ff-only
uv sync
uv run playwright install chromium

autopahe --update is also available as a convenience command. For source checkouts, it safely runs a fast-forward git update and refreshes dependencies. For uv tool installs, prefer uv tool upgrade autopahe.

With Docker:

git clone https://github.com/haxsysgit/autopahe.git
cd autopahe
docker build -t autopahe:latest .
docker run -it --rm \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  -v $(pwd)/json_data:/app/json_data \
  -v $(pwd)/collection:/app/collection \
  autopahe:latest --help

📖 Usage

# Search for anime
autopahe -s "anime name"

# Prepare browser download for episode 1
autopahe -s "anime name" -i 0 -d 1

# Prepare browser downloads for episodes 1-12
autopahe -s "anime name" -i 0 -md 1-12

# Stream episode 1
autopahe -s "anime name" -i 0 -st 1

Core Command Examples

Search + Select

# Basic search
autopahe -s "one piece"

# Search with filters
autopahe -s "naruto" --year 2002 --status "Finished Airing"

# Exact match only (disable fuzzy search)
autopahe -s "jujutsu kaisen" --no-fuzzy

Browser Downloads

# Single episode: prints the browser link, then verifies the downloaded file
autopahe -s "demon slayer" -i 0 -d 1

# Range and list formats
autopahe -s "bleach" -i 0 -md 1-12
autopahe -s "bleach" -i 0 -md "1,3,5-7"

# Whole season shortcut (12 eps per season)
autopahe -s "attack on titan" -i 0 --season 1

Kwik requires a regular browser for downloads. -d and -md guide you through opening the generated link and only mark an episode downloaded after a local video file is verified. Use -l when you only want the link without record updates.

If a site asks for browser verification, you can complete it in AutoPahe's persistent browser profile:

autopahe --verify-browser https://kwik.cx

This does not bypass verification. It opens a normal browser session and saves the user-verified profile for later AutoPahe browser work when the site keeps that session valid.
