# `apk-dl` - A command-line tool for downloading APK files from various sources
[](https://crates.io/crates/apk-dl)
[](https://docs.rs/apk-dl)
[](./LICENSE)
## Usage
See [`USAGE`](https://github.com/EFForg/apk-dl/blob/master/USAGE).
## Usage Note
Users should not use app lists or choose so many parallel APK fetches as to place unreasonable
or disproportionately large load on the infrastructure of the app distributor.
## Specify a CSV file or individual app ID
You can either specify a CSV file which lists the apps to download, or an individual app ID.
If you specify a CSV file and the app ID is not specified by the first column, you'll have to
use the --field option as well. If you have a simple file with one app ID per line, you can
just treat it as a CSV with a single field.
## Download Sources
You can use this tool to download from a few distinct sources.
* The Google Play Store, given a username and password
* APKPure, a third-party site hosting APKs available on the Play Store
