[Feature Request] Springer's 1000 open-access books

[pranaysy]

Earlier this month Springer published their 1000th open access book: https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/campaigns/celebrating-1000-open-access-books

A full CSV file, similar to the one released in the Covid-19 collection is available here: https://link.springer.com/search/csv?facet-content-type=%22Book%22&package=openaccess

Having looked at download_books() from helper.py and the column headers of the CSV file from above, I think a simple rename of the headers should be enough. URLs are similar. However:

• Electronic ISBN and English Package Name columns are not available. This will alter the folder structure
• Further, Edition is limited to just publication years.

Is this something that is straightforward and can be integrated easily?

Thanks for sharing. Yes, the code can be modified to accommodate the new CSV file. But, I fear it will share the same fate as the original free books, that is, Springer may put reCAPTCHA if they find unusual heavy downloading traffic from bots.

See discussion here #113.
