Tool for easily downloading ebooks from Humblebundle.
Note this is a fork of https://github.com/DMarby/humblebundle-ebook-downloader, slightly different functionality.
$ git clone https://github.com/jlongman/humblebundle-ebook-downloader.git
$ cd humblebundle-ebook-downloader
$ npm install
$ node index Usage: index [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-d, --download_folder <downloader_folder> Download folder
-a, --auth_token <auth_token> Authentication cookie (_simpleauth_sess)
-l, --download_limit <download_limit> Parallel download limit
-f, --format <format> What format to download the ebook in
-m, --title_matches <title_matches> Title Matches
-r, --read_cache Read Cache
-c, --checksum Checksum Checks
-b, --bundle Use bundle named leaf dirs
-D, --disable download Only refresh existing files
-A, --all Do all bundles
-H, --html Write an index page
The humbebundle-ebook-downloader will list bundles you have purchased. If you are not in -r/--read_cache mode then a cache file containing bundles will be written. In -r/--read_cache or if the cache file does not exist it will access the humblebundle site to get the list.
NB: For an unknown reason the number of bundles returned is not always the same! While the cache read mode is much faster to access it shouldn't be considered definitive.
The -m/--title_matches option will filter to include only bundle titles that match the string provided. This is applied after the cache is saved and after it is read.
Files which exist and are non-zero size will be re-downloaded. If the files are zero-size they will be deleted before they are downloaded.
If the -c/--checksum option is enabled the md5 checksums will be verified. If the match fails, the item will be re-downloaded. After downloading the checksum will be done again and a log produced if it does not match.
Using -b, --bundle will move and download the book files into a directory named as the bundle is named, e.g. 'Humble Book Bundle Electronics Presented by Make'.
Using -D/--disable-download stops the actual downloading in the case of missing files, md5 mismatches, etc but will still copy files to the leaf directory if enabled.
Warning: Using -A/--all without disabling downloads or having a --title_matches filter will grab a lot! Abusing this may end up getting API access limited.
The -H, --html creates a simple HTML file with book artwork, book names, a link the publisher provided, the publisher's name and supported formats. The supported formats link to the local instance (and not the online reference). In --leaf mode these files are placed in the bundle directories and named index.html, in non-leaf mode they will be named the bundle name with a .html suffix.
The HTML file will be created for non-book bundles, so you may end up with apps and soundtracks, for example, in the index file but not have them locally linked.
node index -f mobi -d ~/humblebooks/ -a "\"youneedtogetthisfromyourbrowser_simpleauthsession_quotesaremandatory\"" -m book -c
Get mobi files, place them in ~/humblebooks, using the session auth key, search for bundles with book in the title, verify checksums (if book exists on disk), create a cache file.
node index -f mobi -d ~/humblebooks/ -m book -c -r
Get mobi files, place them in ~/humblebooks, a session auth is not necessary when reading the cache, search for bundles with book in the title, verify checksums (if book exists on disk), read the cache file.
node index -f mobi -d ~/humblebooks/ -m Sci-Fi -r -D -b -A
Move all your mobi Sci-Fi bundles into their leaf directories without downloading them, even if they are damaged.
