Fear not: this little script is here to the rescue! Featuring a stable CLI output and, most of all, it doesn't use GNU functionalities, so even you elites who are using Busybox/Linux or BSD and you degenerates on MacOS can use it.

FAQ

The thing is, while Nyaa completely looks and feels like a static website that has no reason to have a single line of JavaScript, what it actually doesn't have a single like of is HTML, somehow, so a program that runs the JavaScript, does not render the HTML, and Lynx is the most universally available program I could find. I could parse the RSS, the problem is that it does not implement pages, so it would be impossible to see more than last 75 torrents.
