Understanding how to use Json+Libgen API + Monoskop

#"using an api" in python
#Prototyping 29 MAY 2019
#Piet Zwart Institute

import sys
import json
from json import loads
from urllib.request import urlopen
from pprint import pprint

def get_json (url):
    #save the json to a variable
    file = urlopen(url)

    #prints only an object "<http.client.HTTPResponse object at 0x103e1c860>"
    print (file)

    #you need to read the object
    #b means bites that have to be decoded into a string
    text = file.read().decode("utf-8")
    #check the type of the object
    pprint(type(text))
    #see the string
    pprint(text)

    #turn the string into a more structured object type like a dictionary
    #json loads asks for a string input
    #save it to a variable
    data = json.loads(text)
    pprint(len(data))
    pprint(data)
    return data

libgendata = get_json("http://gen.lib.rus.ec/json.php?ids=1&fields=*")
monoskopdata = get_json("https://monoskop.org/api.php?action=query&list=allcategories&format=json&apiversion=2")

#use the item in a for loop
for item in libgendata:
    #print the item type
    pprint(type(item))
    #look at the keys
    pprint(item.keys())
    #print only the title
    pprint(item["title"])
    # #use this if we are not sure because it wont break the code
    # print(item.get("title"))

#its already a dictionary
cats = monoskopdata["query"]["allcategories"]
#use the item in a for loop
for item in cats:
    #print the item type
    pprint(type(item))
    print(item["*"])

pylibgen Libgen API for python library

A fork from "https://github.com/joshuarli/pylibgen" —> libgen.io URL was outdated.

Now links to —> http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

pylibgen test on Python 3.7, and can be installed via :

pip3 install -e git+https://git.xpub.nl/pedrosaclout/PyLibGenesis#egg=pylibgen.py

import pprint
import pylibgen
from pylibgen import Library
import requests

bookname = input("Book name to search: ")

l = Library()

ids = l.search(bookname)
# print(ids)

idstourl = ",".join(ids )
print(idstourl)

Watermarks, downloading, deleting

https://pad.xpub.nl/p/IFL_2018-05-13

JSOR (Ithaka Harbors, Inc) publishers

download an article from http://jstor.org/ from within the school´s internet
search for watermarks on the PDF
look for some leads in https://sourceforge.net/p/pdfedit/mailman/message/27874955/ — https://github.com/kanzure/pdfparanoia/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=jstor

JSTOR Downloader

While working around the watermarks that JSTOR leaves in their PDFs, we understood that in their website, one can have a preview through the whole document without any of these watermarks. The idea began to download it directly from these preview images rather than actually downloading it from a JSTOR account.
