Wattpad2Epub

Python Script to Scrape Wattpad Story and convert to Epub and html file.

This program will create:

1. A html file of the entire Wattpad Book AND (You can directly Use this one to read, Images are preserved in this format.)
2. A Epub file of the entire Wattpad Book.(The Epub will have separate marked Chapters instead of all chapters as one whole. Images included.)

Libraries used :

1. Pyperclip
2. Requests
3. BeautifulSoup4
4. re
5. Pypandoc
6. argparse

Note: Pypandoc uses pandoc, so it needs an available installation of pandoc.

Installing pandoc via pypandoc

Installing via pypandoc is possible on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (Intel-based, 64-bit):

# expects an installed pypandoc: pip install pypandoc
from pypandoc.pandoc_download import download_pandoc
# see the documentation how to customize the installation path
# but be aware that you then need to include it in the `PATH`
download_pandoc()

The default install location is included in the search path for pandoc, so you don't need to add it to the PATH.

HOW TO USE :1. Just copy the URL of any Story of the Wattpad Book. I repeat copy URL of any "Story"... you got it!

It should look something like this: https://www.wattpad.com/story/39479-paper-ghosts

2. Either Directly Run

    Wattpad2epub.py
    or
    Wattpad2epub.py Story_url     #Pyperclip library not needed for this.
   

   Yes, it can take 1 Commandline Argument as the copied url of the Story.

3. You got html and epub saved in the same location.

I found my script easy to use, but feel free to point out mistakes. Open Issues if you find any.
