Installation

Tracker Scraper is published on PyPI, so installation is a single pip command.

Install from PyPI

pip install tracker-scraper

This pulls in the two runtime dependencies for you — requests and bencode.py.

Tip

Prefer to install into an isolated environment. With a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # on Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install tracker-scraper

Requirements

Python	3.9 or newer
Dependencies	requests (>= 2.20), bencode.py (>= 4.0)
Platforms	OS-independent (Linux, macOS, Windows)

Verify the install

Check the library import:

python -c "from tracker_scraper import scrape; print('ok')"

And the command-line entry point:

tracker-scraper --help

You should see the CLI usage summary. The same command is also available as a module:

python -m tracker_scraper --help

Next steps

• Usage — call scrape() from Python or run the CLI.
• Examples — end-to-end recipes you can copy and run.
