Quickstart
saavn-cli search Arijit Singh
This will query the API for “Arijit Singh” and then display the results as a list. You can select from the list for the song to download.
Windows users run python saavn-cli
. Due to a VSCode bug, you may need to add python
prefix before commands, if VSCode is installed.
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.
