Wrapper for pyLoad to allow downloading files through Python (no webserver). Includes CLI

ez-pyload

Wrapper for pyLoad so it can be used in your Python projects without starting a webserver like pyLoad normally does.

Why?

I've been trying to find a library or CLI app which is able to download from many different filehosting sites for a long while now. The only free downloaders I have been able to find with support for many filehosting sites are jDownloader2 and pyLoad, neither of which seem to have a CLI interface or developer friendly API/documentation, and both of which seem to run a webserver just to be able to download some files. This library (hopefully) fixes this problem.

Installation

$ python3 -m pip install ez-pyload

Using as a library

ez-pyload comes with a single function: download(url: str, download_dir: str | Path, loglevel: int = logging.INFO) -> Path) This function will download the file/folder at url to the directory download_dir. If loglevel is set to logging.DEBUG, debug mode will be enabled.

Example

from ez_pyload import download

path = download("https://drive.google.com/file/d/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx/view?usp=drive_link", ".")
print("Downloaded file:", path)

Using as a CLI app

After installing, you may use pydl [url] [path] to download a file/folder at url to the given path (defaults to current working directory)
