Download OpenReview papers by decision.

OpenReview Paper Downloader

Simple download of all oral, spotlight, accepted, or rejected papers from OpenReview into tidy folders by decision.

Despite the name, this works for any OpenReview-hosted conference (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, etc.).

Installation

pip install openreview_downloader

Usage

The CLI saves PDFs into downloads/<venue>/<decision>/ with sanitized filenames.

Available decisions:

• oral – Oral presentations
• spotlight – Spotlight presentations
• accepted – All accepted papers
• rejected – Rejected papers

Basic examples (NeurIPS)

Download all NeurIPS oral papers:

ordl oral --venue-id NeurIPS.cc/2025/Conference
