🟠 JDSH - JDownloader Shell 🔵

preview

Control and Manage your JDownloader within your terminal with ease.

Designed for Linux servers/headless environments where you need full control without a GUI; or if you just love using CLI!

Packed with various Commands & Interactive Mode (TUI).

This tool will use your JDownloader local API, which you will need to enable manually. It uses myjadpi package under the hood to work (kudos to the author of this package).

Installation

pip install jdsh

Setup

  1. Obviously have JDownloader 2 installed.
  2. Enable JDownloader's Local API:
    • Edit <JD_FOLDER>/cfg/org.jdownloader.api.RemoteAPIConfig.json.
    • Set "deprecatedapienabled": true
    • (Optional) you may also need to set deprecatedapilocalhostonly to false if you want to access it from remote.
    • Restart JDownloader.

Usage

You can now use the jd command globally from anywhere in your terminal.

Interactive Mode

Simply run jd without arguments to enter the interactive mode.

jd
  • Tips:
    • Press s to Start/Stop downloads.
