Cookie, thenhttps://my.bsmart.it, then copy in the terminal the cookie called_bsw_session_v1_production - Input the id of the book you'd like to download, either from the list or from the url, after
/books/. It's ususally a 4 digit number - Press enter and the script will start working, a file will be saved in the same folder as the one with the
index.jswith the name of the book, containing the full book downloaded.
NOTE: some times this doesn't work flawlessly, i've tryed to fix all the issues I've had but in some cases you might need to do a manual download and merge, for this please download pdftk and run node index.js --pdftk
Further options are available, run node index.js --help for more info.
Enjoy
