Libgen API

Libgen-API-Modern is a lightweight, simple, and blazingly fast Python library for interacting with Library Genesis. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous methods to search for and resolve download links for books, all with a modern and elegant interface.

This library focuses exclusively on the modern Libgen web interface, ensuring high performance and reliability without the need for fallbacks to older, less structured APIs.

Features

• Blazingly Fast: Optimized for speed with efficient HTML parsing and direct API interaction.
• Async & Sync: Provides both async and sync functions to fit any project architecture.
• Simple & Elegant API: A clean and minimal set of functions (search_async, search_sync).
• Direct Download Link Resolution: Intelligently parses mirror pages to find the most direct and reliable download links.
• Robust Data Models: Search results are returned as BookData objects for consistent and predictable data handling.
• Minimal Dependencies: Built with aiohttp, requests, and rich to keep the library lightweight.
• Versatile CLI: A powerful command-line tool for searching, downloading, and interactive sessions.

Installation

pip install libgen-api-modern

Usage as a Library

The core functions are search_async and search_sync. Both return a list of BookData objects.

Asynchronous Example

import asyncio
from libgen import search_async, LibgenError

async def main():
    try:
        results = await search_async("the art of war")
        if not results:
            print("No results found.")
            return

        for book in results:
            print(f"Title: {book.title}")
            print(f"Authors: {', '.join(book.authors) if book.authors else 'N/A'}")
            if book.download_links and book.download_links.get_link:
                print(f"Direct Download: {book.download_links.get_link}")
            print("-" * 40)

    except LibgenError as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Synchronous Example

from libgen import search_sync, LibgenError

try:
    results = search_sync("the art of war")
    if not results:
        print("No results found.")
    else:
        for book in results:
            print(f"Title: {book.title}")
            print(f"Authors: {', '.join(book.authors) if book.authors else 'N/A'}")
            if book.download_links and book.download_links.get_link:
                print(f"Direct Download: {book.download_links.get_link}")
            print("-" * 40)
except LibgenError as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

Usage as a Command-Line Tool

The CLI offers three main commands.

Search

libgen search "the art of war"

Download

Download a file directly from a known Libgen mirror URL.

libgen download "MIRROR_URL" --output "mybook.pdf"

Interactive Mode

For repeated searches and downloads in a single session.

libgen interactive
