Piping |

The program is pipe-friendly, so you could use this tool in conjunction with the jq command to filter the JSON output, and then pipe it to your favorite torrent client.

The --magnet option is a convenience option instead of filtering it every time with jq, the bellow 2 lines are equivalent:

rarbgcli "the stranger things 3" --category movies --limit 10 | jq .[].magnet | bittorrent
rarbgcli "the stranger things 3" --category movies --limit 10 --magnet | bittorrent

CAPTCHA

To get around the captcha, the user will be prompted to solve it and enter the cookie in the terminal.

I tried many ways to automate this process (using selenium and tesseract), but it just ends up being overkill, hard to maintain across platforms, and I still didn't get it to work.

This might be automated one day, because it is possible.
