pypergrabber's Introduction

PyperGrabber

Fetches PubMed article IDs (PMIDs) from email inbox, then crawls PubMed, Google Scholar and Sci-Hub for respective PDF files.

PubMed can send you regular update on new articles matching your specified search criteria. PyperGrabber will automatically download thoe papers, saving you much time tracking on downloading those manually. When no PDF article is found PyperGrabber will save the PubMed abstract of the respective article to PDF. All files are named after PMID for convenience.

NOTES:

Messy code ahead!
Program may halt without error message. The source of this bug is yet to be determined.
The web crawler function may be used to work with other sources of PMIDs then email (e.g. command line parameter or file holding list of PMIDs)

Required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
sudo pip install pypdf

USAGE:

Step 1 - Put in your email access data into config.ini or prepare to be prompted (works with IMAP)
Step 2 - Start with: python ./PyperGrabber.py

Your Ideas, Feedback and Suggestions?

When I published PyperGrabber I never thought it would receive any attention at all.
Despite being a mere hacked together script it now ranks among my most popular repositories.

I may consider giving it an overhaul with cleaner code and improved usage.

Hence, Iwould need some user feedback to direct me:

Why did you star / fork it?
What would you like PyperGrabber to be?
What features would you like to see?
In which way is it better than other libraries?
