Quickstart

Using the command-line utility

To download a single episode, simply use:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/8195/1185884

You can also pass multiple links (separated by whitespace) to download in one go:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/60171/1575237 https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/5796/332058 https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/13034/623225

See more examples on how to aggregate and batch download using the command-line utility on the next section below.

Using Python shell

Create a Scraper instance and use fetch to scrape and download images from a viewer page.

>>> from pyccoma import Scraper
>>> pyc = Scraper()
>>> pyc.fetch('https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/8195/1185884')

Title: ひげを剃る。そして女子高生を拾う。(しめさば ぶーた 足立いまる)
Episode: 第1話 失恋と女子高生 (1)
  |███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 100.0% (14/14)
Elapsed time: 00:00:17

You can use login to have access to rental or paywalled episodes from your own library.

>>> pyc.login(email, password)
>>> pyc.fetch('https://piccoma.com/web/viewer/s/4995/1217972')

Title: かぐや様は告らせたい～天才たちの恋愛頭脳戦～(赤坂アカ)

  |███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 100.0% (20/20)
Elapsed time: 00:00:23

Images are stored under the path specified in fetch(url, path). A fixed directory tree structure like below is created with subfolders for the product_name and episode_name. It will return an absolute path if a relative one is given. If none is supplied, an extract folder will be automatically created inside the current working directory.

.
└───<extract>
    └───<product_name>
        └───<episode_name>

Usage

Using filter to aggregate and download in batch

• Downloading all free episodes in a single product page:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/product/67171/episodes?etype=E --filter all --include is_free

• Downloading all free episodes across multiple products:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/product/5523/episodes?etype=E https://piccoma.com/web/product/23019/episodes?etype=E --filter all --include is_free

• Downloading all first episodes across multiple products:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/product/6575/episodes?etype=E https://piccoma.com/web/product/41993/episodes?etype=E --filter min

• Downloading all free volumes across multiple products offered on a campaign:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/product/6342/episodes?etype=V https://piccoma.com/web/product/4708/episodes?etype=V --filter all --include is_limited_free

• Downloading using custom with range:

$ pyccoma https://piccoma.com/web/product/16070/episodes?etype=E --filter custom --range 1 5

Accessing your library

Requires user login.

• Downloading all your purchased items:

$ pyccoma purchase --filter all --include is_purchased --email [e-mail]

• Downloading the most recent episodes you have read from your history:

$ pyccoma history --filter max --include "is_limited_read|(is_already_read&is_free)" --email [e-mail]

• Downloading latest unread episodes using free pass (if available) from your bookmarks:

$ pyccoma bookmark --filter min --include is_limited_free --exclude is_already_read --email [e-mail]

Narrowing down the results

You can set restrictive conditions using the include and exclude options in the command-line utility. These two options take in statuses as arguments. To have a clearer picture as to what these statuses correspond to, see figure below.
