Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug           Show debugging info (URLs, raw XML ... etc, info
                        varies per grabber)
  -u, --usage           Display examples for executing the script
  -v, --version         Display grabber name and supported options
  -l LANGUAGE, --language=LANGUAGE
                        Select data that matches the specified language fall
                        back to English if nothing found (e.g. 'es' Español,
