Fanfiction downloader

Installation

$ pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/Birion/python-ffdl.git@master

Usage

Download a new story

pyffdl download [--from <URL FILE>] [<URL>[ <URL>[...]]]

The html command downloads a raw list of HTML files and collates them in an ebook.

pyffdl html --author <NAME> --title <TITLE> [--from <URL FILE>] [<CHAPTER URL>[ <CHAPTER URL>[...]]]

In URL_FILE, you can provide a list of URLs to download, one URL per line. Any lines starting with # will be ignored.

Update an existing story file

pyffdl.py update [--force] [--backup] <EPUB FILE>

--force option completely redownloads the story, overwriting any changes you may have done to the epub file in the meantime.

--backup option saves a copy of the current epub file before downloading any updates into a new file.

Hello @Birion,

I was thinking about something similar to this project recently, and found yours! Is this still something you're interested in developing, and if so are you looking for potential collaboration?

Best,
@batflyer
