bt1337xearch

1337x search TUI with Cloudflare bypass and basic filtering

What it does

bt1337xearch is a command-line tool that searches 1337x torrents with:

• Category filtering (Movies, TV, Games, etc.)
• Sorting options (by time, size, seeders, leechers)
• Keyword filtering (include/exclude keywords)

Prerequisites

bt1337xearch uses scrapling StealthyFetcher for bypassing the Cloudflare Captcha.
The StealthyFetcher uses a custom playwrigth build to made that happen.
You can install this playwright version using Scrapling:

uvx scrapling[shell] install

Warning

If the "Installing Playwright dependencies..." step fails, bt1337xearch should still work (e.g., Arch-based distros).
