To download from the F-Droid open source repository:

apkeep -a org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid -d f-droid .

More advanced options for this download source can be passed with the -o option. For instance, to use an F-Droid mirror:

apkeep -a org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid -d f-droid -o repo=https://cloudflare.f-droid.org/repo .

In addition to specifying a mirror, a wholly separate F-Droid repo can be specified along with its fingerprint:

apkeep -a org.torproject.android -d f-droid -o repo=https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=B7C2EEFD8DAC7806AF67DFCD92EB18126BC08312A7F2D6F3862E46013C7A6135 .

If a repo only supports the old (v1) package index, the newer entry point specification can be disabled by use of the use_entry option:

apkeep -a org.torproject.android -d f-droid -o repo=https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=B7C2EEFD8DAC7806AF67DFCD92EB18126BC08312A7F2D6F3862E46013C7A6135,use_entry=false .

A special option can also be used to skip verification of the repository index. Only use for debugging purposes:

apkeep -a org.torproject.android -d f-droid -o repo=https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo,verify-index=false .

It is also possible to download a specific architecture variant of an app with the arch= option:

apkeep -a org.videloan.vlc@3.5.4 -d f-droid -o arch=arm64-v8a .

To list what versions are available, use -l:

apkeep -l -a org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid -d f-droid

To output the list in json, use the output_format=json option:

apkeep -l -a org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid -d f-droid -o output_format=json
