mediathek-cli

an (under development!) CLI for querying the awesome MediathekViewWeb project.

Quickstart

There are currently 2 supported commands (media query and media detail). These are meant to be used in succession, as media detail requires a specific entry id optained from your last query.

$ media query {query}

This command allows to query the MediathekViewWeb database. It supports similar filters which are implemented as optional flags.

The most basic query only requires a string, describing what you are searching for: media query "tagesschau". More specific searches can be achieved by using flags.

USAGE
  $ media query [QUERY] [-t <value>] [-s <value>] [-c <value>] [-l <value>] [-p <value>] [--dmin <value>]
    [--dmax <value>] [--sortBy timestamp|duration] [--sortOrder desc|asc] [--future]

ARGUMENTS
  QUERY  :string - describe what you are searching for

FLAGS
  -c, --channel=<value>  :string - limit search to a specific channel [e.g. 'ARD']
  -l, --limit=<value>    [default: 15] :number - limit search results
  -p, --page=<value>     :number - use pagination to view specific result page
  -s, --topic=<value>    :string - search for a specific topic (Sendung) [e.g. 'tagesschau']
  -t, --title=<value>    :string - search for a specific title [e.g. 'Wetten dass...']
  --dmax=<value>         [default: 99999] :number - maximum duration (in minutes)
  --dmin=<value>         :number - minimum duration (in minutes)
  --future               :bool - choose to allow results of future entries
  --sortBy=<option>      [default: timestamp] :string - define what to sort by
                         <options: timestamp|duration>
  --sortOrder=<option>   [default: desc] :string - define sorting order
                         <options: desc|asc>

$ media detail {entry id}

This command allows to view more information for a single entry. It requires the respective media id, which is displayed for every result of media query.

USAGE
  $ media detail [ID]

ARGUMENTS
  ID  :number - the respective Entry ID of the last query to show details for

DESCRIPTION
