  • Low network risk
  • No shell execution
  • No obfuscation
  • Metadata risk due to single package by maintainer
Per-check LLM notes

💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with abx-dl
Create a Python-based utility called 'WebGrabber' that leverages the 'abx-dl' package to download and process content from various online sources. This utility should allow users to input a URL, select preferred file formats to download, and automatically organize downloaded files into different directories based on their type (e.g., images, videos, documents). Additionally, implement a feature that extracts metadata from downloaded files, such as image dimensions, video duration, or document title, and display it alongside the download progress. Finally, add a simple user interface using the 'cmd' module to enhance user interaction. Utilize 'abx-dl' to handle the downloading and extraction processes efficiently.
