Installation

• Install Python from https://python.org
• Download this repository, or git clone it.
• Install the requirements - from the program's directory: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run with python main.py "search term"

Requirements

This script has been tested with the following requirements:

• rich 13.3.4
• beautifulsoup4 4.12.2
• requests 2.28.2

Notes:

• Where a 'native' download cannot be found, but a Mediafire download is available, the Mediafire link will be shown, the URL prepended by 'MEDIAFIRE' (will require a manual download)
• Script relies on a 'Download Now' button or 'Main Server' button(s) to find a download link.
• As the query is made via a Python object, query.Query could be imported to a bespoke script and searches could be written out to file etc.
• Can combo with a text file containing series' you want to download, and in the case of PowerShell use something like: cat ~\Documents\comics.txt | foreach { python main.py $_ -date 2023-11-18 -output ~\Downloads}, incrementing your date each time to the last date you ran the script so you pick up any new uploads.

Security Warning
