About The Project 🌐

Overview πŸ“Œ

SPYCLI is a versatile command-line interface (CLI) tool πŸ› οΈ designed to provide an easy and direct way to browse and stream a wide variety of media content, including Movies 🎬, TV Shows πŸ“Ί, Anime 🎌, Kdramas 🎭, and C-dramas πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³. It is built to operate across multiple systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Features πŸš€

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: πŸ–₯οΈπŸ“± Runs smoothly on multiple platforms, including desktop OSs like Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile OSs like iOS and Android.
  • Versatile Media Player Support: 🎞️ Integrates with popular media players like MPV for most platforms and VLC for iOS to ensure high compatibility and user-friendly media playback.
  • Ease of Use: 🎯 Designed to be straightforward with a simple command line interface that does not require a graphical user interface.
  • Open Source: πŸ”“ The entire codebase is open for contributors to review, modify, and enhance, fostering a community-driven development process.

How It Works πŸ› οΈ

SPYCLI interacts with a backend API 🌍, that serves as a bridge between the CLI tool and the media content providers. This API is hosted and maintained by spycli and is integral to the functionality of SPYCLI. The tool fetches media links through this API and streams them directly using the specified media player installed on the user's device.

The API is currently free to use, and we strive to keep it that way indefinitely to support our community of users. However, maintaining and hosting the API involves costs, so we encourage and appreciate any financial contributions from our users. These contributions help ensure that SPYCLI can remain free and continue to develop. If you find value in SPYCLI and are able to support us, please consider funding our efforts to keep this service accessible for everyone. πŸ’ΈπŸ’–

Inspiration πŸ’‘

The creation of SPYCLI was heavily inspired by other CLI-based media streaming tools such as ani-cli and mov-cli, which provide similar functionalities for specific niches within the media streaming domain.

Future Plans 🌟

  • Enhanced Content Catalog: πŸ“š Plans to expand the variety and sources of content available through SPYCLI.
