animepahe-dl

Download anime from animepahe in your terminal.

Fixes the Unsupported URL: https://kwik.cx/... error that yt-dlp hits — instead of relying on yt-dlp, this tool cracks kwik.cx's obfuscated JavaScript via Node.js to extract the real m3u8 stream, then downloads it with ffmpeg.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Node.js (any recent version)
• ffmpeg

On Termux (Android):

pkg install nodejs ffmpeg

Install

pip install animepahe-dl

Options

How it works

1. Searches the animepahe API
2. Fetches the episode list
3. Extracts the kwik.cx embed URL from the play page
4. Fetches the kwik.cx page and extracts the obfuscated eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){...}) JavaScript block
5. Transforms it for Node.js (eval( → console.log() and executes it to get the real m3u8 URL
6. Downloads the m3u8 stream with ffmpeg
