Error! Couldn't find a download link for x pages

[sushmitxo]

I edited the google-play-book-downloader-pdf.mjs and the edited part looks like this:

const BOOK_ID = '1Iy8EAAAQBAJ'; // Found in the URL of the book page. For example: BwCMEAAAQBAJ
const GOOGLE_PAGE_DOWNLOAD_PACER = 2 * 1000; // Wait between requests to reduce risk of getting flagged for abuse.

// How to get this options object:
// 1) Go to https://play.google.com/books and login.
// 2) Open dev console, network tab.
// 3) Click somewhere in the page.
// 4) Right-click on the corresponding request in the dev console and then “Copy as Node.js fetch”.
// 5) Options object is the second argument in the call to fetch().
const FETCH_OPTIONS = {
  "headers": {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0",
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
}
};

Then, I ran: npx zx google-play-book-downloader-pdf.mjs but, getting this error. Also the url "https://play.google.com/books/publisher/content?id=1Iy8EAAAQBAJ&pg=PP1&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=[REDACTED]" returns the correct image of the book:

I have the same issue! Any news in this case?

In my experience, you need to select the "Copy as Fetch (NodeJS)" option (different from "Copy as Fetch"). There's a lot more data copied, such the header containing an item called "cookie" with a big slab of text. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be an available option in Firefox, only in Chromium browsers.

Now I noticed the same thing. If you open the link https://play.google.com/books/volumes/${BOOK_ID}/manifest in the same browser window (by substituting id), you can see that there are no links for these pages.

@vladrevers As far as I understand it's a different issue: See: https://github.com/devnoname120/google-play-book-downloader/issues/7

[devnoname120]

This issue is due to the user not copying the fetch object correctly. See: https://github.com/devnoname120/google-play-book-downloader/issues/16#issuecomment-2039051847
