Usage

Quickstart / Compiled

• Install ffmpeg

• Python Script

Universal :

pip install -r requirements.txt
python saavn-cli.py search english songs

How it works ?

When a user runs the script to search or download songs,
The script requests download links, album art, album details, etc from the unofficial API. It downloads the raw files and then compiles them using ffmpeg.

Requirements

• ffmpeg
• Python (v3)

Install FFMPEG

To check if ffmpeg is properly installed, run
ffmpeg -version
Download ffmpeg

• Termius/Linux : sudo apt install ffmpeg
  
• MacOS (Homebrew) : brew install ffmpeg
  check brew.sh
  
• Windows users can copy ffmpeg.exe to C:\Windows\System32 or any other $PATH Directory

Compiling Binary :

With pyinstaller

pip install -U pyinstaller python3 -m PyInstaller --icon=icon.ico --onefile saavn-cli.py -n saavn-cli

The Executable file will be saved to dist folder

Argument Parsing

Example Command :

./saavn-cli search:160 English Songs

• Here saavn-cli is argv[0], the script entry point
• search:160 is argv[1], action and bitrate option, seperated by : colon as ACTION:BITRATE.
  
• Action is Necessary but Bitrate is optional, 320 by default.
• English Songs - Rest Arguments are "terms" used to query the API in search action or Links/IDs seperated by spacing in download mode
