scrape my library #27

Open sasagr opened 4 years ago

sasagr commented 4 years ago

Would it be possible to scrape my all library using an argument like "library" and eventually skip what has been already scraped? This way I could setup a crono scraping and every time I have a new book in my library it will be downloaded.

It is definitely possible. Also it is something that other people might want, also.

There is a URL: "https://www.blinkist.com/api/books/library" that returns a list of all the books in your library. And blinkist-scraper already skips downloaded books, automatically. Seting up a chron task for this should work okay.

However, if you have already run the program, you will probably find that there are a lot of books there which you hadn't added yourself. - The reason for this is that a book must be added to your library in order to "read" (download) it.

yes, I have run the program already many times and I m aware I need to to add the books I want to download to my library to be able to download them. What I want to avoid eventually it is to manually copy and paste the links to the download command. Looking forward to see this new feature :)

Did you guys figure out any solution for this that's straightforward?
