usage: autodl.py [-h] -o DOWNLOADS_FOLDER [-d DELAY] [--skip-downloads] [--always-paginate]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o DOWNLOADS_FOLDER, --downloads-folder DOWNLOADS_FOLDER
						folder to download tracks to
  -d DELAY, --delay DELAY
						how many seconds between checking for new tracks (default: 5)
  --skip-downloads      skip downloads and only save metadata
  --always-paginate     always check all tracks by artists (to get unprivated songs too)

run autodl.py with --skip-downloads temporarily if you don't want it to download all existing tracks

features

• supports multiple users
• saves full api metadata
• upload files to discord with webhooks
• optionally check older tracks from user (in case an old track is unprivated)
• can re-download tracks that have had their audio replaced
• doesn't care if a user changes their url

notes

you can access the saved api metadata by using sqlite browser to open the sqlite file, or by using the D option with manage_autodl.py

the more users you add the more you'll probably want to increase the delay, I use 60 seconds for 8 users with always-paginate, but you can probably get away with less than that
