Springer Link Downloader

Downloader for link.springer.com written in Python using PyPDF2 and BeautifulSoup. For more information see http://tovotu.de/dev/518-Neuer-SpringerLink-Downloader/

Requirements

It's totally possible running Springer Link Downloader in the command line. But if you prefer a graphical user interface, run it with --gui option. You will need Gtk3 from the Python API of gobject to run the GUI.

Furthermore it makes use of these command line tools:

  • ImageMagick (optional: the download of the frontcover is skipped if not available)
  • ghostscript (optional: the metadata is skipped if not available)
  • pdftk (optional: for --pdftk option)

Installation

Simply install running:

# pip3 install git+https://framagit.org/tuxor1337/springerdownload

If you want to install as a user to your $HOME directory use the --user option. Please note that you will have to remove the data manually if you want to uninstall. Here are the files and folders created by the setup script:

%{platform-prefix}/bin/springer_download
%{platform-prefix}/share/applications/springer_download.desktop
%{platform-prefix}/share/pixmaps/springer_download.png
%{platform-prefix}/share/doc/springerdl/examples/
%{python3-site-packages}/springerdl/
%{python3-site-packages}/springerdownload-%{version}-py3.7.egg-info

%{python3-site-packages} and %{platform-prefix} depend on the operating system. In Fedora these values default to /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages and /usr respectively.

Package maintainers might want to add the --root option to specify an appropriate %{buildroot}. For more information see

$ python setup.py install --help

Usage

For detailed usage information please refer to

$ springer_download --help
