Meido
Telegram bot to search and download anime - with MongoDB caching for instant access
A Telegram bot that sends anime directly to your inbox. Search for any anime, and Meido will download and deliver the episode right to your Telegram chat.
The Problem
You want to watch anime. You search online. You get bombarded with ads, redirects, and sketchy download buttons. What if you could just message a bot, ask for an episode, and get it delivered instantly?
How It Works
Meido uses animdl for searching and downloading anime files, and stores them in MongoDB for faster subsequent access.
User: /search naruto
Meido: Found 5 results...
User: /download naruto 1
Meido: Downloading episode 1...
Meido: [Video File]
Architecture
The system consists of:
- Telegram Bot - Handles user interactions via Pyrogram
- animdl Integration - Searches and downloads from multiple anime sources
- MongoDB Cache - Stores downloaded episodes for instant access
- FFmpeg - Handles video conversion and processing
Features
- 🎬 Download anime episodes on demand

Why MongoDB?
When someone requests a popular episode, chances are others will want it too. By caching in MongoDB, the second request is instant - no re-downloading required.
