Get a backfill of ids

Open xtream1101 opened this issue 9 years ago • 6 comments

Need a way to backfill ebook ids now that the site started to use epoch time as the book ids.

I am currently working up a solution.

Hi!

I'm wondering do you have any clues on whether ebooks site would actually work?

The site has disabled the ability to download and has not uploaded anything new in a while. Once I see the site is back up where the books can be downloaded I will continue to work on this scraper.

Are there known alternatives?

There are many other ebook sites like this one, off hand I do not know the urls though. I do plan to create other ebook scrapers soon.

Nice to know. Although I never met any so precisely categorized as it-ebooks.

actually the id can be fetched using third party rss services like feedly.com's api

anyway, do have a complete copy of the downloaded books?
