Installation Guide

How To Install

Install Node.js. We recommend the LTS release. The SafariBooks-Downloader has been tested on most node versions between v4.4.5 and v.6.9.5 and should therefore cause no problems running on one of these versions. For more information about how to install it on your environment, see Installing Node.js via package manager. To verify your installation, run:

node -v

If a version is returned, you did successfully install Node.js. Next up, make sure npm is properly installed. To verify, run:

npm -v

If the command returns a version number, you're all set. Next, we'll clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/nicohaenggi/SafariBooks-Downloader.git
cd SafariBooks-Downloader

Install all the dependencies with npm.

npm install

Congratulations! You've successfully installed SafariBooks-Downloader. If you desire to do so, you can install the tool globally on your machine. To do so, run:

npm install -g

To verify the installation, please run:

safaribooks-downloader --version

If the command returns a version number, you have successfully installed the tool globally. The current release is v1.0.0.

How To Update

1. Stop the downloader if it's running. (use control + c to stop it)
2. Run git pull
   This will update the generator to the latest master branch
3. Reinstall dependencies with npm install or npm install -g
   using npm install -g will install the generator globally
4. Run safaribooks-downloader --version
   After you are done following it this will print out the current version of the generator.

How To Run

The tool provides the following six options. The options --bookid, --username, --password and --output are required. However, if the username and password options are provided once, they will be cached and are no longer required to run the CLI.

Options

• -h, --help
  • displays usage information
• -V, --version
  • displays version number
• -b, --bookid
  • the book id of the SafariBooksOnline ePub to be generated you can find the book id by having a look at the URL while reading the book e.g. https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/building-apis-with/9781484224427/A435096_1_En_7_Chapter.html whereas the id will be 9781484224427
• -u, --username
  • username of the SafariBooksOnline user - must have a paid/trial membership, otherwise will not be able to access the books
• -p, --password
  • password of the SafariBooksOnline user

All books returning 404?

Hi,

Just recently books started returning 404:

$ safaribooks-downloader -u user -p "password" -o ./books/book.epub -b id
[safari-downloader] starting application...
[safari-downloader] the user "[email protected]" was successfully authorized...
[safari-downloader] StatusCodeError: 404 - {}

This is happening for all books I try.

Not working with office accounts

Download images

Hi, great work :) I wanted to ask if there is the possibility to embed the images of the book into the epub file?

We couldn't open the book

When I complete downloaded the book and open it with Microsoft Edge , only show the message " We couldn't open the book" . What happened ?

SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

After a few download that working properly, i get this error message every time i try to download.

How to download multiple files?

In youtube-dl we can download multiple video with a batch file.

Is there anything like that in this application.

ACM accounts

I have an account with ACM with which I can use to access Safari Books, but I can't use it with the downloader. Probably because of the fact that I get redirected to enter my ACM credentials.

StatusCodeError - 302

I am getting this error.

Stuck at download a book

It stucks here, this book have 1000 pages.
but it works fine with books with around 200 pages.

SOLVED: It just needs more time :D

Use without credentials

I believe it should be possible to download a book without credentials if it is possible to view it without credentials - solely based on IP address. Just providing your script with fake credentials does not work for obvious reasons. Do you think adding an option to not use credentials? (I'm not sure if it makes a difference. I was trying to download a book from the proquest.safaribooksonline.com subdomain)

Currently, this application only supports epub for output format.
PDF support?

Invalid Credentials

I'm trying to download a book with the help of the guidelines mentioned in the documentation. Below is the code which I'm running:
safaribooks-downloader -b 97777777777777 -u [email protected] -p password -o ~/book.epub

I'm getting the below error:
[safari-downloader] starting application...
[safari-downloader] StatusCodeError: 400 - {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Invalid credentials given."}

As per the error description, it's not the case, as I'm giving the correct credentials.
Note: The Safari-Books Online account is a Personal Trial Account.

Error 403

[Bug] Getting Invalid Credentials Given Error

I am trying with correct credentials but its giving me Invalid Credentials Given Error.

StatusCodeError: 400 - {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Invalid credentials given."}

My account uses SSO

Hi,

My account uses single sign on. So when I am giving credentials it is saying invalid credentials.

Request your support in how to troubleshoot this issue.

General Query

Very sorry to come back over here for answer, pardon me /\
Just one quick question.
Does an epub file require internet connection for all of the (including images, links etc) contents to load?

SSO support

I have a SSO account setup with Safari, so I can't specify a password. When logging into Safari, after typing in my email I am redirected to my SSO screen to login with my credentials. Ultimately would love some form of being able to specify that I use SSO and have SafariBooks-Downloader pop up a browser window for me to log in and capture the cookie returned for subsequent requests.

Problems with repeated image filenames in different chapters

Some books use image names like inline001.gif in every chapter, and that causes problems, as they overwrite each other.

RequestError: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 151.101.113.132:443

Scrolling in Calibre is diagonal

Hello!

I have found that when reading the epub book in Calibre, the book scrolls down the chapters, but the pages move diagonally to the left, then when the page reaches the far left, the next one starts from the right and the process repeats. Have you ran into this before when attempting to read the EPUB books?

I'd love some help if possible!

RequestError: Error: unable to verify the first certificate

When downloading a book with ID : 9781509304837 i get the error message
"[safari-downloader] RequestError: Error: unable to verify the first certificate"

Download fails with StatusCodeError: 302 - undefined

attempting to execute the following results in StatusCodeError: 302 - undefined

This is caused by the incorrect baseurl in index.js (as resolved by #54)

Download fails with RequestError

I have executed the following command:

node index.js -b 9781787286382 -u [email protected] -p mypassword -o .

Downloaded file not found

It said epub successfully saved.exiting...
but not able to find the downloaded file in the location I specified..

add --queue-list option

It would be great if the app had an option to list the books (titles, ids) from the queue, saving a trip to the website.

P.S: Thanks for making a very neat and useable tool!

After few downloads, its getting stuck

I am running in a for loop from inside a python script, it is stuck after few downloads.
Is there a limit on the usage ?

How to call the cmd with options from a python script?

I want to call safaribooks-downloader <all options> in a .py file.

Order of downloaded files

First of all thank you for putting the time and effort to make this tool and share it with the community.

One of the main issues I see is to be able to follow the chapters from the compressed file. Obviously we don’t have a way to sort the files e.g by download time as the time stamp will likely be all the same.

So I am thinking if you have had considered to make something for this,

Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Federico.
