/arxiv_digest

Send weekly digests from particular authors on arXiv

Primary LanguagePython

The script arxiv_checker.py will query arXiv for papers by authors listed in sections of config.ini that have been updated/submitted since the last digest time stored in database.ini, and write a local digest to ~/downloads/arxiv-digest-#.html.

A poor man's installation

  • Clone the repo
  • chmod +x arxiv_checker.py and symlink it into /usr/local/bin
  • Have a /usr/bin/python3 installed and pip install arxiv
  • Run it as a crontab or execute it from .bashrc. Currently it will only write a digest on Monday or if 1 week has elapsed since the last digest.
