CLI Options

Option	Required	Description
--input	Yes	The path to the file containing the list of items to search for.
--output	No	The name of the output file (with or without extension). Defaults to scrapped-torrents.json.

Output Formats

• If no extension is provided, the default format is JSON.
• Supported output extensions: .json and .txt.

Examples:

• --output=torrent-details.json --> Saves detailed results in JSON format.
• --output=magnet-links.txt --> Saves magnet links in plain text format.

Input file format

The input file should list the names of items (e.g., movies) to search for, one per line. For accurate results, include the year of release and, if possible, specify the desired video quality (e.g., 1080p, 720p). This helps narrow down the search to match your preferences.

Inception (2010) 1080p
The Dark Knight (2008) 720p
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 1080p
