DeArrow CLI

A CLI program to view and vote for DeArrow submissions.

Installation

System packages are available for Fedora and Arch. Using these is recommended over installing the binary manually.

Fedora

Add the repository first:

sudo dnf install --repofrompath 'mschae23,https://pkg.mschae23.de/rpm/fc$releasever' --setopt='mschae23.gpgkey=https://pkg.mschae23.de/rpm/repository.key' mschae23-repos

When DNF prompts you for the repository's signing key, make sure it has the following fingerprint before accepting:

60C9 7C71 B476 4DF9 319D  4F02 1315 D06E 9C20 41E8

Then install the package:

sudo dnf install dearrow-cli

Arch

AUR

A package is available at dearrow-cli. To install it, refer to the Arch user repository wiki page.

Custom repository

Import the repository's signing key first:

wget -O mschae23-pkg-sign.gpg https://pkg.mschae23.de/arch/repository.key
sudo pacman-key --add mschae23-pkg-sign.gpg
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 'pkg@mschae23.de'

Add the repository to /etc/pacman.conf:

[mschae23]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://pkg.mschae23.de/arch/mschae23/$arch

Then install the package:

sudo pacman -Sy dearrow-cli

When Pacman prompts you for the repository's signing key, make sure it has the following fingerprint before accepting:

60C9 7C71 B476 4DF9 319D  4F02 1315 D06E 9C20 41E8

From source

Run cargo install --path . in a local clone of this repository. If Cargo complains about the mschae23 registry being missing, add the following to ~/.cargo/config.toml:

[registries.mschae23]
index = "sparse+https://pkg.mschae23.de/cargo/"

Usage

View submissions

dearrow-cli view <VIDEO_ID> title
dearrow-cli view <VIDEO_ID> thumbnail
dearrow-cli view <VIDEO_ID> main

For title and thumbnail, this uses DeArrow Browser's internal API by default. For main, the default is the main SponsorBlockServer instance at https://sponsor.ajay.app/.

The DeArrow data displayed is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 from https://dearrow.ajay.app/.

Legend for "score" column:

• o: Original title
• m: Removed by a VIP
• x: Shadowhidden
• d: Removed by downvotes
• r: Replaced by submitter
• h: Title / thumbnail should only appear in submission menu (score < 0)
• u: Submitted by unverified user
• l: Locked by a VIP
• v: Submitted by a VIP

Vote

Voting requires your private ID to be set using the SPONSORBLOCK_PRIVATE_USERID environment variable.

dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> title "Some title"
dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> --downvote title "A bad title"

dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> thumbnail at 10.123
dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> thumbnail original
dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> --downvote thumbnail at 10.123
dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> --downvote thumbnail original

If you are a VIP user and want to disable auto-lock ("act as VIP" in UI), pass the --no-autolock option before title or thumbnail.

It is also possible to vote for a casual mode category.

dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> casual <CATEGORY>...
dearrow-cli vote <VIDEO_ID> --downvote casual

Note that the --no-autolock and --using-casual flags are still accepted in this mode, but will have no effect.

Warnings

dearrow-cli user <USER_ID> warnings received
dearrow-cli user <USER_ID> warnings issued

Shows tips (internally still called warnings) received or issued by a specific SponsorBlock or DeArrow user. You can pass --newest <N> or -n <N> to only show the newest N warnings.

This uses DeArrow Browser's internal API by default.
