blinkist-scraper's Issues

Add a parameter to ignore SSL errors

Referring to 502 errors, I'd suggest to add the possibility to ignore SSL errors by providing an optional command line parameter.

502 Bad Gateway

when chromedriver opens up it gives following response - opening any site in it gives same response (my usual chrome works fine)

Error response
Error code: 502

Message: Bad Gateway.

Error code explanation: 502 - Invalid responses from another server/proxy.

Thank you first :)

Thank you first :)

i thought the book Homo Deus (https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/reader/homo-deus-en) was in my dump & books folder, but i couldn't find it.
It occurs to other 2 books by Yuval Noah Harari: Sapiens, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

Would it be possible to be solved? ... Thank you so so much >_<

Issue with --concat-audio

A lot of blinks download the audio, then when it comes to combining, it must error but all the audio files get deleted.

New Feature: create-mobi

add the possibility to create-mobi file

I see that ebooklib does not supper mobi but I found this
https://github.com/jachinlin/kindle_maker

if interested it could be added to generate also mobi files

Missing "uncategorized" category from scraper, thus not retrieving all books

When navigating the each category section, a list of books appears, which is used to gather all book urls and download them all afterwards. You would expect to be getting all books from Blinkist if you navigated the "Show all books" section from every existing category, right? Well... it's not the case.

Nonetheless, not all books seem to have a category, resulting in this (awesome) library to miss around 15% of all books (422 missing out of 2800). This problem is the cause of, for example, this issue.

Manual solution (shortcut to get all books)

I managed to craft a list of all currently existing books in Blinkist. I've done so through their own search engine. They use Algolia and from my previous experience, it can be queried using the client's x-algolia-application-id and x-algolia-api-key. Then simply call the /indexes/books-production/query endpoint. Then, I did a bit of clean-up on the JSON response and constructed each book URL. Here's the list that you can easily use with the --books argument.

cannot execute main.py

Hi. Really interested to use this script but I have serious difficulties to follow instructions as per README file.
Basic usage calls for python main.py without underscores.... but there is no such file.
Only similar file is main.py with underscores before and after main word in blinkistscraper folder but I guess it is not the right one.
Salvatores-MacBook-Pro:blinkistscraper salva$ python main.py user pass https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/reader/the-box-en

stuck on recaptcha

the recaptcha stage carries on forever it keep asking to select images in a loop ... does recaptcha detect more than we know?

It doesn't work

I got this error

Stuck in Cloudflare hCaptcha loop.

Hello and first of all thank you very much for your work!

It looks, like this is exactly the code that I was looking for, but unfortunately I'm not able to get it running because I get stuck in an endless Cloudflare hCaptcha loop on https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/login when I'm trying to execute it the first time.
The "One more step - Please complete the security check to access - I am human" appears before entering the login information and no matter how often I solve it, I always end up at the next Captcha (tried it for at least 9 times in a row).

My system:

• Win 10
• Chrome 87
• Python 3.8
• Venv with all requirements.txt modules installed.

I've already tried:

• Running it on another Win 10 Laptop --> same problem
• Different commands: python blinkistscraper email password / python main.py email password
• Downloaded and specified ChromeDriver 87.0.4280.88 as argument
• Downloaded Chrome 88 Beta and used ChromeDriver 88.0.4324.27
• pip install --upgrade for all outdated modules
• Different locations via VPN (Germany, Portugal and US)
• Different Networks (DSL and Hotspot from Mobile Phone)
• Ubuntu VM --> also getting stuck with the same problem

Unfortunately I don't have any other ideas at the moment and feel pretty lost/stupid.
Did you encounter this problem before and have an idea how to solve it?
Or are there some logfiles or something I can collect that might help in this case?

Thank you very much in advance!
Peter

Cloudflare blocking scraping

Hello, I have just started using this library and all seems to be correctly set up. I ran python blinkistscraper email password with my credentials and Cloudflare unfortunately detects (I assume) an automated activity and blocks me from navigating to Blinkist.com on the browser instance that got opened by the script.

Any ideas?

Captha taking longer than expected

I am experiencing "This is taking longer than expected; please reload the page."

Not sure what's wrong. it happened on on the third captcha

Chromedriver is being installed earlier in proc from the autoinstaller dir then runs into another "missing" error when options.py is running. Unsure how to resolve.

Improve mac / linux compatibility

Right now the script is hardcoded to use chromedriver.exe which obviously only works on windows. Should make the chromedriver path into a proper argument so people can use the windows or linux executable as well.

Can't get past Captcha

Hi there,
I can't get past Captcha. Tried all possible options described in other reported issue but none seems to help. I'm choosing all the busses, boats and trains but Captcha reappears over and over as if it did not work.
Could anyone please look into this please?
Thanks

Enable retries for audio scraping

Audio downloads seem to be a bit iffy - sometimes the script just fails to capture the audio request to the first chapter, or a request just times out. Those are handled gracefully but it means that no audio for that book is downloaded. Look into adding a --retry-limit flag so that in case of a failed audio download, the script waits a bit and retries as many times as defined by the flag.

Access Denied

Not all Blinkist books can be Downloaded

I Used this library about a year ago and it worked like a charm. but there is a little problem. it uses Blinkist categories to download the Blinks and I noticed that not all the available books are listed in categories and around half of them are missing.
I suggest that instead of using categories to download all the books we use Blinkist sitemap. now you can conveniently find the Blinkist sitemap in https://www.blinkist.com/en/sitemap. I don't have the knowledge to solve this issue but I hope somebody can do it.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I get this syntax error while running main.py

File "main.py", line 59 print(f"[#] Processed {processed_books} books in {formatted_time}") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

If I try commenting that line I get other syntax errors in other files... I guess there is something wrong with my configuration

Feature Request: Embed cover art into concat audio file

First, thanks for this! This is great.

Wondering tho if it'd be possible to embed the album art into the .m4a file, or even (maybe both?) download the linked jpeg file in the HTML output file created into the containing folder?

Is there any way to download German books and audios as well?
Could you add another flag to choose the language maybe?

I also ran into JSONDecodeErrors at some point in the program. I don't know when and why this happens exactly.

how to skip audio file?

is there a command/argument I can give to skip the audio scraping, if I m interested in the ebook only?

scrape my library

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.

infinite captcha: bug or scraper not working any more?

Hi all,

I have just tried the blinkist scraper with my free account. It does not work any more. It just pops up the captcha window. I insert them many times, then the captcha windows crashes and I get the following messages:

INFO Please solve captcha to proceed!
ERROR Error. Captcha needs to be solved within 1 minute
ERROR Unable to login into Blinkist
INFO Processed 0 books in 00:01:10

Any hints?

Infinite captcha

Hi! Thanks for amazing repo!
When I run python blinkistscraper email pass chrome asks to solve the captcha, after solving the first captcha logs print INFO Logged into Blinkist. Loading Library... but nothing happens, also chrome repeatedly asks to pass captchas again and again.
How to solve this issue?

Timed out receiving message from renderer: 298.991

I will get this timeout every once in a while. But when using the --book flag to download the book with this error, it seems to work fine.

Is there a way to redownload books without restarting? It seems there isn't a way to do this at the moment. It will scrape everything over again.

Or alternatively, there is currently a way to not re-scrape json files and only download the books with json files. It is possible to scrape all json files first before downloading? Then I can manually take out the json files with books I have already downloaded?

Downloads blinks in German even with --language en specified

I noticed that a lot of Uncategorized books are in German and then are downloaded even if I select the flag --language en.

I tried to skip the "uncategorized" category altogether, but that didn't work. All the German books have a URL like www.blinkist.com/en/nc/reader/x-de. So should be able to add a case to skip if the last three characters of the url string are "-de" and language is "en."

Some books are not scraped

Hello there, I hope all is well with you.
I have been using this script for a few months and I have to admit that it has significantly helped me in reading Blinkist on my kindle.
I have run into an annoying situation where I am unable to scrape some books.
For instance, I receive this error when the Chromedriver is started and the link to my book is opened.
Would you mind assisting me in completing this task?
best
