manga-dlp

python script to download mangas

Description

A manga download script written in python. It only supports mangadex.org for now. But support for other sites is planned.

Before downloading a new chapter, the script always checks if there is already a chapter with the same name in the download directory. If found the chapter is skipped. So you can run the script on a schedule to only download new chapters without any additional setup.

The default behaiviour is to pack the images to a cbz archive. If you just want the folder with all the pictures use the flag --nocbz.

Currently Supported sites

• Mangadex.org

Downloads file-structure

.
└── <download path>/
    └── <manga title>/
        └── <chapter title>/

Example:

./downloads/mangatitle/chaptertitle(.cbz)

Read list of links from file

With the option --read you can specify a file with links to multiple mangas. They will be parsed from top to bottom one at a time. Every link will be matched for the right api to use. It is important that you only have one link per line, otherwise they can't be parsed.

Example:

# mangas.txt
link1
link2
link3

python3 manga-dlp.py --read mangas.txt --list

This will list all available chapters for link1, link2 and link3.

Set download path

With the option -p/--path you can specify a path to download the chapters to. The default path is <script_dir>/downloads. Absolute and relative paths are supported.

Example:

python3 manga-dlp.py <other options> --path /media/mangas

This will save all mangas/chapters in the path /media/mangas/<manga title>/<chapter name>

Contribution / Bugs

For suggestions for improvement, just open a pull request.

If you want to add support for a new site, there is an api template file which you can use.

Otherwise you can open a issue with the name of the site which you want support for. (not guaranteed to be implemented)

If you encounter any bugs, also just open a issue with a description of the problem.

TODO's

• Make docker container for easy distribution --> Dockerhub
• Make pypi package
• Add more supported sites
