🚀 Quick Start 

from TeraboxDL import TeraboxDL

# Step 1: Add your Terabox cookie
cookie = "lang=en; ndus=YOUR_COOKIE_HERE;"

# Step 2: Create the client
terabox = TeraboxDL(cookie)

# Step 3: Provide a file link
link = "https://www.terabox.app/s/your_link_here"

# Step 4: Fetch file info
file_info = terabox.get_file_info(link)

# Step 5: Show the results
if "error" in file_info:
    print("Error:", file_info["error"])
else:
    print("Name:", file_info["file_name"])
    print("Size:", file_info["file_size"])
    print("Thumbnail:", file_info["thumbnail"])
    print("Link:", file_info["download_link"])

📂 Downloading Files

Now let's download that file!

result = terabox.download(file_info, save_path="downloads/")

if "error" in result:
    print("Download Error:", result["error"])
else:
    print("✅ File downloaded to:", result["file_path"])

🧪 Custom Progress Bar

Add a custom progress bar for better UI integration:

def progress_callback(downloaded, total_size, percentage):
    done = int(50 * downloaded / total_size)
    print(f"\r[{'=' * done}{' ' * (50 - done)}] {percentage:.2f}%", end='')

terabox.download(file_info, save_path="downloads/", callback=progress_callback)

Use this in bots, GUI apps, terminal tools, or anywhere you want real-time feedback!
