However, its modular nature allows users to import "configs"—custom scripts that tell the software how to interact with specific websites or servers. In the IPTV context, OpenBullet uses these configs to:

An open-source framework that automates web requests. It uses "configs" (like pickim's) to tell the software exactly how to talk to a specific server.
