[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/pylibgen.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/pylibgen/) [![Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/JoshuaRLi/pylibgen.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/JoshuaRLi/pylibgen) [![License MIT](https://img.shields.io/github/license/mashape/apistatus.svg)](https://github.com/JoshuaRLi/pylibgen/blob/master/LICENSE)
Python interface to Library Genesis. Only the LibGen/Sci-Tech database is supported.
This project is archived and not maintained as of the 2.0.0 release. I am willing to make or accept pull requests for small maintenance releases if they are trivial, but any changes required due to major/breaking changes with libgen’s internals will not be implemented.
## Installation
pylibgen is well-tested on Python 3.6 - 3.7, and can be installed via pip install pylibgen.
## Usage
`python >>> from pylibgen import Library >>> l = Library() >>> ids = l.search('stallman essays') >>> ids ['112887', '310297', '688326', '1594161', '1610379'] >>> book1, book2, *_ = l.lookup(ids) >>> book1.__dict__ {'id': '112887', 'title': 'Free software, free society: selected essays of Richard M. Stallman', 'author': 'Richard M. Stallman, Lawrence Lessig, Joshua Gay, Laurence Lessig', 'year': '2002', 'edition': 'First Printing, First Edition', 'pages': '230', 'identifier': '9781882114986,1882114981', 'extension': 'pdf', 'filesize': '2210323', 'md5': '861C055B960E7F36D95164CAB34E0E97'} >>> book2.__dict__ {'id': '310297', 'title': 'Free Software Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard Stallman', 'author': 'Richard Stallman', 'year': '2010', 'edition': '2nd Edition', 'pages': '278', 'identifier': '0983159203,9780983159209', 'extension': 'pdf', 'filesize': '1597349', 'md5': '6C3C2593BBB5D77154D50DFDDC0EA669'} >>> book1.get_url(filehost='b-ok.org') 'http://b-ok.org/md5/861C055B960E7F36D95164CAB34E0E97' `
## Support Library Genesis!
Book.get_url(filehost=’…’) will return the standard filehost gateway url.
There is no functionality to bypass any intermediate advertisement pages, and this behavior is intended because Library Genesis is a service worth supporting.
## Development Setup
You’ll need python 3.6, python 3.7, and tox. It’s recommended to use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) to install + manage python versions and executable modules. An example:
$ pyenv install 3.6.7 $ pyenv install 3.7.1 $ pyenv global 3.7.1 3.6.7 # put both pyenv-managed python3.6 and python3.7 on the PATH $ python3.7 -m pip install tox
To setup and enter a virtual environment for testing + development:
$ tox -e setup $ . venv/bin/activate
To run all tests and pre-commit hooks:
(venv) $ tox
