all-zeit

This is a downloader for articles on Zeit Online (https://zeit.de). It does simply download all articles that show up in the feed and store them as .html files to a download_folder. Only the source file, without external files (images etc) are downloaded.

Already downloaded urls will not be loaded again.

Downloading

$ git clone https://github.com/ezzra/allzeit ~/bin/allzeit

Installation

Pipenv

$ pipenv install
$ pipenv run python main.py

Pip

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Use the example config file to set up your own config

$ mv config.ini.example config.ini

and set your prefered folder

[general]
download_folder = ~/html

folders that are configured here, will automatically be created.

Web access with .htaccess

With each run the tool will assure that there is a download_folder/.htaccess. If not so, the file htaccess.example will be copied there and rewrite urls to the *.html files.

First run

$ python3.6 main.py

Automatisation

You can just set up a cronjob to regularly run the tool and download all new articles.

$ crontab -l
*/30 * * * * python3.6 ~/bin/allzeit/main.py > /dev/null

DISCLAIMER

Please note, that you need to have the permission from Zeit Online to download from their websites automatically. You should also have paid for Zeit+ because with this downloading tool you would be able to store and read articles before they are put behind the Paywall.
