MangaBat Scraper
Download manga chapters directly from MangaBat's CDN without hitting Cloudflare protection.
How It Works
- MangaBat uses Cloudflare on the web frontend (blocks bots)
- But images are served from
img-r1.2xstorage.com— CDN is unprotected - Script extracts manga slug from URL, then scans CDN for page numbers
- Pattern:
https://img-r1.2xstorage.com/[slug]/[chapter]/[page].webp
Script Location
Locate the script in your skills directory:
find ~ -name manga_scraper.py 2>/dev/null
Setup Check
python3 /path/to/manga_scraper.py --help
Usage
Single chapter:
python3 manga_scraper.py "https://www.mangabats.com/manga/[manga-slug]/chapter-5"
Chapter range (1-10):
python3 manga_scraper.py "https://www.mangabats.com/manga/[manga-slug]" \
--start 1 --end 10 --workers 4
All chapters (auto-detect last):
python3 manga_scraper.py "https://www.mangabats.com/manga/[manga-slug]" \
--all --workers 3
Custom output folder:
python3 manga_scraper.py "URL" --output ~/Manga/MyManga
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--all |
Download all chapters (manga URL, auto-detects last by 404 scan) |
--start N |
Start from chapter N |
--end N |
End at chapter N |
--workers N |
Concurrent downloads, default 3 (be respectful to CDN) |
--output -o |
Output directory, default ./downloads/ |
Workflow
- Extract manga slug from URL automatically
- Scan CDN pages (0→n) until 3 consecutive 404 → determines page count
- Download all pages with resume support (skip existing)
- Save to
chapter_NNN/page_000.webpnaming convention
Notes
- Cloudflare blocks the mangabats.com domain directly — always use CDN method
- Use
--workers 2or--workers 3for batch downloads (CDN is polite) - Output goes to
./downloads/by default, or--outputif specified - Image format is always
.webp - If Cloudflare ever starts protecting the CDN too, this script will fail — switch to cloudscraper browser emulation
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with a tool designed to work around a site's anti-bot protections and download content directly from its CDN. Review the site's terms and your authorization first, keep chapter ranges small, and set an output directory with enough space because bulk runs can create many persistent image files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The core purpose is bulk downloading manga from a third-party site, and both the documentation and script explicitly frame the CDN path as a way to bypass Cloudflare protections.
Instruction Scope
The instructions include single-chapter, range, and all/large-series workflows, plus operational advice for avoiding the protected frontend; this is broader than a narrow user-controlled download helper.
Install Mechanism
The artifact consists of a markdown skill file and one Python script, with no declared third-party dependencies, package installer, or hidden install-time behavior found in metadata or files.
Credentials
Runtime behavior performs repeated network probes and concurrent downloads against a third-party CDN and can create many local image files; the artifacts do not include meaningful quota, size, authorization, or terms-compliance controls.
Persistence & Privilege
It does not request elevated privileges or background persistence, but downloaded chapters persist on disk under the output directory and resume by skipping existing files.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install manga-scraper - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/manga-scraper - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
