#yifydown

Synopsis

This bash script downloads YIFY movies using YTS.ag Web API.

Usage

yifydown.sh [options] [search query]

There aren't problems in writing the movie name (or string to search) with spaces.

The script will show a movie, and ask for confirmation, which can be y (yes, continues with that movie), n (no, shows the next movie), s (summary, prints the movie's summary and asks again), or q (quit, stops the script). This can be skipped with the -f option, which selects the first result in chronological order.

Then, the scripts shows the movie qualities available to download (eg. (720p/1080p/3D)), and it can be answer with one of those (eg 720p), or quit the script. However, if the option -q [quality] is passed, the script will try to download such quality, and if it isn't available, will show the available ones.

The script then searches and downloads the spanish subtitles for that movie, if present in www.yifysubtitles.com. Finally, the script uses aria2 to download the movie through torrent, to the current directory. Everything inside bash.

Installation

First, you'll need to get the dependencies, which are jshon and aria2.

macOS:

brew install jshon aria2

Download that yifydown.sh script in the repo, and run it in your bash console (well, just open it with Terminal)

API Reference

Obviously, yts.ag/api. Just remember that not every YIFY movie is indexed at yts.ag... yet.
