The scripts in this repository can be used to download en-masse mangas hosted at mangastream.xyz.
extractor.py takes as input the root of a manga in the website and recursively downloads every chapter in it. The chapters are divided in folders which are numbered using padded increasing numbers to be lexicographically ordered.
download_chapter.py takes as input the a chapter in the website and downloads the images in a certain directory of choice. This script can be used after a mass download to get chapters that are still being published.
In order to run the scripts, you will need to have python 3.8 installed in your system. You can install it either by downloading it directly from the python website or by installing it through chocolatey.
Once python is installed, open a terminal and install the package virtualenv with
pip install virtualenv
Clone the repository containing the scripts from github in your computer and navigate to the directory in the terminal.
From the root of the repository, define a new virtual environment with
virtualenv .env
And activate it. In Windows, run
.\.env\Scripts\activate
In *nix systems, run
source .env/bin/activateInstall all the dependencies with
pip install -r requirements.txt
The scripts are now ready to be executed.
To run the script, ensure that the installation steps have been completed and ensure that the virtual environment is activated in windows with
.\.env\Scripts\activate
and in *nix systems, with
source .env/bin/activateOnce the virtual environment is activated, choose the root of a manga from mangastream.xyz, for example http://mangastream.xyz/manga/full-metal-alchemist, and copy the url.
Then simply run, from the command line with the virtual environment active:
python extractor.py http://mangastream.xyz/manga/full-metal-alchemist
The script will create a directory called full-metal-alchemist and will also create as many directory as there are
chapters in the manga. Once all chapters have been scraped, the script will start to download with 50 parallel threads
the images from all the chapters, numbering them in ascending order.
To run the script, ensure that the installation steps have been completed and ensure that the virtual environment is activated in windows with
.\.env\Scripts\activate
and in *nix systems, with
source .env/bin/activateOnce the virtual environment is activated, choose a chapter of a manga from mangastream.xyz, for example http://mangastream.xyz/full-metal-alchemist-chapter-108, and copy the url.
Then simply run, from the command line with the virtual environment active:
python download_chapter.py full-metal-alchemist http://mangastream.xyz/full-metal-alchemist-chapter-108
The second argument to the script is the root directory where the chapter will be downloaded, while the third argument is the page that contains the chapter images.
