Basic Usage

Get the comic ID from the profile page

Then execute (depending on how you installed it):

python cli.py -i COMIC_ID -d

OR

comicfuryscraper.exe -i COMIC_ID -d

OR

comicfuryscraper -i COMIC_ID -d

Command Line Arguments

Argument	Description
-u, --url	URL of the webpage to scrape
-i, --id	ID of the comic to scrape (alternative to URL)
-t, --max-threads	Maximum number of threads to use (default: 4)
-d, --download	Download the comic and create CBZ files
-o, --output	Output directory for downloaded files
-v, --verbose	Enable verbose output
-j, --json	Path to a JSON file with chapter data (skips scraping)

Examples

1. Scrape comic information without downloading:

python cli.py -i yourcomicid

This will generate a yourcomicid-chapters.json file with all chapters and pages information.

2. Download a comic using its ID and save to a specific folder:

python cli.py -i yourcomicid -d -o "My Comics/ComicName"

3. Download a comic using its URL with verbose output:

python cli.py -u "https://comicfury.com/comicprofile.php?url=yourcomicid" -d -v

4. Increase download speed by using more threads:

python cli.py -i yourcomicid -d -t 8

5. Use a previously generated JSON file to download without scraping:

python cli.py -j yourcomicid-chapters.json -d

6. Download a comic using an existing JSON file and save to a specific directory:

python cli.py -j yourcomicid-chapters.json -d -o "My Comics/ComicName"

How It Works

1. The scraper first checks if a JSON file with chapter data exists
   • If specified with -j flag, it uses that file
   • Otherwise, it looks for a default file named [comic-id]-chapters.json
2. If no JSON file is found, it scrapes all chapters from the comic's archive page
3. For each chapter, it finds all pages and their image URLs
4. When downloading, it creates a temporary directory for each chapter
5. Images are downloaded with proper ordering (001.jpg, 002.jpg, etc.)
6. A CBZ file is created for each chapter with numbered prefixes for proper ordering
7. Temporary directories are cleaned up automatically

Output

Downloaded comics are saved as CBZ files in the specified output directory (or a directory named after the comic ID by default). Files are named with numerical prefixes to ensure proper ordering, for example:

01_Chapter_Name.cbz
02_Another_Chapter.cbz
etc...
