Installation

Using uvx (recommended - no installation needed)

uvx openreview-dl

Using uv

uv tool install openreview-dl

Using pip

pip install openreview-dl

Usage

Run the command and follow the prompts:

openreview-dl

Or with uvx:

uvx openreview-dl

You'll be prompted to:

1. Enter the full OpenReview URL (example: https://openreview.net/forum?id=XXXXXXXXXXXX&referrer=%5BAuthor%20Console%5D(%2Fgroup%3Fid%3DConference.org%2FYYYY%2FMeeting%2FAuthors%23your-submissions))
2. Provide your OpenReview username and password
3. Optionally cache credentials for future use (stored in ~/.config/openreview-dl/credentials.enc with machine-specific encryption)

The tool will generate:

• output/$FORUM_ID.md - Markdown formatted file
• output/$FORUM_ID.odt - ODT document (can be opened in LibreOffice, Microsoft Word, etc.)

where $FORUM_ID is the paper ID extracted from the URL.

Credential Caching

If you choose to cache credentials, they are stored at:

• Linux/macOS: ~/.config/openreview-dl/credentials.enc

The credentials are encrypted using machine-specific keys (hostname-based), so they won't work if copied to another machine. However, this is not fully secure - anyone with access to your user account can potentially decrypt them.

Note

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access the paper on OpenReview. You must be logged in with an account that has access to the reviews (typically as an author, reviewer, or area chair).
