# :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](https://github.com/ihabunek/twitch-dl) developed by [@ihabunek](https://github.com/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.
## Support Us :sparkling_heart:

## Installation :package:
To install Kick-DL, run the following command in your terminal:
**using npm**:
```sh
npm install -g kick-dl
```
**using pnpm**:
```sh
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.
