** What's Mangasee123? It's a manga archive website with a collection of more than 6600 mangas. You could visit it [[https://mangasee123.com/][here]].

** Usage #+BEGIN_SRC shell python MangaseeDL.py MANGA_NAME [CHAPTER_START [CHAPTER_END]] #+END_SRC

Examples:

If nothing other than ~MANGA_NAME~ is provided, the script tries to download all chapters. #+BEGIN_SRC python MangaseeDL.py "One Piece" python MangaseeDL.py "one piece" python MangaseeDL.py one-piece #+END_SRC Note that ~MANGA_NAME~ is case-insensitive, and spaces could be replaced with hyphens.

If only ~CHAPTER_START~ is provided, that chapter is downloaded. The following commands will all download chapter 10 of the manga One Piece:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell python MangaseeDL.py "One Piece" 10 python MangaseeDL.py one-piece 10 python MangaseeDL.py One-Piece 10 #+END_SRC

If ~CHAPTER_START~ and ~CHAPTER_END~ are both provided, the script tries to download CHAPTER_START to CHAPTER_END. The following commands will all download chapters 10 through 20 of the manga Diamond is Unbreakable: #+BEGIN_SRC shell python MangaseeDL.py "Daomond is Unbreakable" 10 20 python MangaseeDL.py "diamond is unbreakable" 10 20 python MangaseeDL.py diamond-is-unbreakable 10 20 #+END_SRC

*** Notes:

• You can find the manga name through searching on mangasee123.com and finding out the index name. For example, if you search for /JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Part 4 - Diamond Is Unbreakable/, you'll end up here: ~https://mangasee123.com/manga/Diamond-Is-Unbreakable~. So the name you should enter is ~Diamond-Is-Unbreakable~ (case-insensitive).

** How does it work? As of the time of writing this script, mangasee123 serves mangas in the following format:

https://mangasee123.com/read-online/MANGANAME-chapter-CHAPTERNO-page-PAGENO.html

For example, One Piece chapter 1 page 51 can be read on:

https://mangasee123.com/read-online/One-Piece-chapter-1-page-51.html

If we inspect this url's source, there's two important variables in the JS codes:

~vm.CHAPTERS~: An array holding the information for each chapter and the number of its pages.

Example: #+BEGIN_SRC JavaScript vm.CHAPTERS = [ { "Chapter":"100010", "Page":"57", ... }, { "Chapter":"100020", "Page":"24", ... }, ...; #+END_SRC

Note how the chapter has a leading 1 and a tailing zero. We strip that off.

~vm.CurPathName~: A url in which the images for that chapter is hosted.

Example: #+BEGIN_SRC JavaScript vm.CurPathName = "official-ongoing-2.gamindustri.us"; #+end_src

so images for pages of this chapter are hosted on scans-hot.leanbox.us!

By checking the url for each page image, we can see it's in the following format:

~https://HOST/manga/MANGANAME/CHAPTER-PAGE.png~

With CHAPTER and PAGE being 4 3 characters long, respectively.

So the aforementioned One Piece is hosted on:

~https://official-ongoing-2.gamindustri.us/manga/One-Piece/0574-021.png~

That's practically it. You can see how this script is able to download mangas.
