:sparkles: Kick-DL :frog:

Kick-DL is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for easily downloading VODs and Clips from kick.com

[!NOTE] This CLI tool is inspired by Twitch-DL developed by @ihabunek.

Features :rocket:

• Built-in FFmpeg: It comes with FFmpeg integrated, allowing you to download multimedia content without needing to install FFmpeg on your system separately.
• Multithreaded Downloads: CLI is developed in Node.js, but it utilizes a compiled FFmpeg binary for quicker multithreaded downloads.
• Global Installation: Install it anywhere on your system and access it from any terminal with no hassle.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
• VODs Downloads: Download Videos on Demand (VODs) from Kick quickly with simple commands.
• Clips Downloads: Download Clips from Kick with ease and speed.
• Customizable Options: Adjust settings like format (mp4) and quality (1080p) to suit your needs.

Installation :package:

To install Kick-DL, run the following command in your terminal:

using npm:

npm install -g kick-dl

using pnpm:

pnpm add -g kick-dl

[!NOTE] Kick-DL leverages Puppeteer to retrieve the .m3u8 paths for VODs and clips. As a result, you may encounter occasional issues, and no driver or Google Chrome configuration is necessary.

This approach is due to the absence of a Public Kick API. Once one is made available, the CLI will be updated, and performance will be improved.
