What is Awirix?

Awirix is a powerful multimedia metascraper that aims to replace all existing small media scrapers.

WARNING

Awirix is currently in alpha status. It is already suitable for daily use, but some things may still change between minor releases.

Motivation

Take a look at ani-cli. It's great, but in order to use it you need

  1. POSIX shell interpreter, which implies installing WSL if you use Windows

  2. Auxiliary programs

    • grep
    • sed
    • awk
    • curl
    • ...the list goes on

And, most importantly, all scrapers of such kind suffer from the same problem

"Webscraping means extracting data from places on the web that don't want it to be extracted. Depending on what service you're scraping, they will resist by changing things up a lot. It's a cat and mouse game where scrapers, especially those with only one source, need to adapt frequently." - @port19x

However, Awirix is kinda different in this sense. If one extensions gets broken the user can always switch to another one and continue using Awirix.
