anna-dl

Python tool allowing easy books downloads from the terminal

Replacement for zlib-dl

Features

• Bypass randomly generated links to downloads
• Obtain a specified number of results
• Retrieve metadata without having to go onto annas-archive.org itself

Installation

Clone the repository and install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/Nquxii/anna-dl
cd anna-dl

pip3 install -r requirements.in

Open help section

python3 annadl --h

Ensure your config.json is set if you don't want to use several parameters each time.

Add annadl to path (so you don't need to cd into zlib-dl every time) Linux/MacOS:

ln -s ~[CURRENT DIR]/annadl ~/.local/bin/annadl

Usage

python3 annadl [path] --s [query] --n [number of results]

Number of results defaults to 5 of the top results available. Use 0 to see all search results on the page.

If a path in the command is specified, it will be used. Otherwise, the download_path in config.json will be used. If none of these options are available, the program will use ./assets/ as its download folder.

Example

View 5 search results for "The Pragmatic Programmer". Download the resulting file in /home/johndoe/Documents/books

python3 annadl /home/johndoe/Documents/books --s "The Pragmatic Programmer"

View all search results on the first page for "Don Quixote". Download the resulting file in ./assets/ (assuming no set path in config.json)

python3 annadl --s "Don Quixote" --n 0
