Command-line and Python API to download PDFs directly from Sci-Hub

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://pyscihub.readthedocs.io.

Installation

Installing the Sci-Hub CLI is as easy as cloning this repo and installing it using pip, i.e.,

git clone https://github.com/markkvdb/pyscihub.git
cd pyscihub
pip install -e .

If you don’t want to change the standard output folder, then make sure that you create a output folder in the pyscihub folder.

Usage

Tool can be used with a single query, e.g.,

pyscihub single "Your paper"

or with a user-provided file containing one query per line as

pyscihub file <LOCATION FILE>

If everything goes well, a file output/pdf_paths.csv is created containing the location of the PDFs of all requested queries. If Sci-Hub cannot find the corresponding PDF then the field is empty.
