For convenience, read-torrent
also support reading magnet uri. Resulting information is limited, though.
// "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitmanvar uri = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:d2474e86c95b19b8bcfdb92bc12c9d44667cfa36&dn=Leaves+of+Grass+by+Walt+Whitman.epub&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337';
Resulting information depends on the contents of the URI, but infoHash
is guaranteed for any valid magnet uri.
Command-line interface
There is also a command-line interface available if you install it with -g
npm install -g read-torrent
This installs a program called read-torrent
that you simply pass a torrent file or url
read-torrent http://my-server.com/file.torrent
This will print all meta info of the torrent file to the terminal
