openreview-downloader 0.1.3

Download OpenReview papers by decision.

openreview_downloader

Download 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.).

Install

pip install openreview_downloader

Use

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

The first positional argument is a comma-separated list of decisions:

• oral
• spotlight
• accepted
• rejected

Basic examples (NeurIPS)

Download all NeurIPS oral papers:

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

Download all NeurIPS oral and spotlight papers:

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

Download all accepted NeurIPS papers (any presentation type):

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

Download all rejected submissions (use with care 🙂):

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

By default, existing files are skipped so you can resume interrupted runs just by re-running the same command. To force re-downloads:

ordl oral,spotlight --venue-id NeurIPS.cc/2025/Conference --no-skip-existing

Other conferences (ICLR, ICML, …)

Just change the --venue-id to the appropriate OpenReview handle.

ICLR 2025 orals only:

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

ICLR 2025 accepted papers (all formats):

ordl accepted --venue-id ICLR.cc/2025/Conference

ICML 2025 oral + spotlight:

ordl oral,spotlight --venue-id ICML.cc/2025/Conference

You can use any other OpenReview venue id in the same way.

See decision counts without downloading:

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

Example output:

NeurIPS 2025
---
Oral: 77
Spotlight: 687
Accepted: 5287
Rejected: 255
