Script to download all your PacktPub books inspired by https://github.com/ozzieperez/packtpub-library-downloader
Since PacktPub restructured their website packtpub-library-downloader became obsolete because the downloader used webscraping. So I figured out that now PacktPub uses a REST API. Then I found which endpoint to use for downloading books and made a simple script. Feel free to fork and PR to improve. Packtpub's API isn't documented :'(
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py -e <email> -p <password> [-d <directory> -b <book file types> -s -v -q]
python main.py -e hello@world.com -p p@ssw0rd -d ~/Desktop/packt -b pdf,epub,mobi,code
You must put your data in the .env file.
mv data.env-sample data.env
and replace the sample data with your login credentials.
docker-compose up
After the execution, you can see the content in the book directory.
- -e, --email = Your login email
- -p, --password = Your login password
- -d, --directory = Directory to download into. Default is "media/" in the current directory
- -b, --books = Assets to download. Options are: pdf,mobi,epub,code
- -s, --separate = Create a separate directory for each book
- -v, --verbose = Show more detailed information
- -q, --quiet = Don't show information or progress bars
Book File Types
- pdf: PDF format
- mobi: MOBI format
- epub: EPUB format
- code: Accompanying source code, saved as .zip files
I'm working on Python 3.6.0
