Random scripts that I use to manage AO3 epub downloads

using ao3_api

comments.py

• uses ao3_api to grab comments from a single fic

bookmarks.py

• uses ao3_api to bookmark a list of fics (not finished, may not work)

using ao3downloader

epub.py

• cli argument style interface for ao3downloader, avoid having to select the same options every time
• use python epub.py file.txt
• will log in, not download images separately, only download EPUB format
• run from ao3downloader directory, could not get to login from shell script

sendlink.py

• download works from ao3 search or collection
• use python sendlink.py url 2 to download two pages, default one page
• use python sendlink.py file.txt to download from first link given
• run from ao3downloader directory, could not get to login from shell script

id.py

• depends on sendlink.py, needs predefined mega exclude list to download tag search without unwanted fandoms descending kudos or file containing multiple tags
• sample excludelist.txt
• use python id.py tag tag as in url after &tag_id= or use entire url (must sort by kudos descending)
• i really should fix this one, proof of concept only
• run from ao3downloader directory, could not get to login from shell script

using Action Chains

fandommodule.py

• module to identify fandom and set custom column #fandom value to the correct fandom using the Action Chains plugin

mergemodule.py

• module to automatically merge fanfiction using epubmerge and Action Chains (yes I know fanficfare does this I just want to use ao3downloader)
• doesn't work, couldn't figure out how to call epubmerge from Action Chain, fanficfare does it a different way I think?

---

Edit: Not doing this anymore, repurposed the repo. Calibre and ao3downloader provide ways to get metadata in csv format. However, once moved, metadata can be hard to wrangle. I export epubs to a epub reader, many after using epubmerge. The calibre and epub export libraries diverged greatly. I wanted a way to grab metadata locally, without having to request the data again using ao3downloader.

library.py contains functions that will export all metadata of epubs in a directory to a csv. table.py uses NiceGUI to display the table of metadata. countingtags.py uses ebooklib to count the unsorted tags.
