Pdf file download from web

Question

I wanted to know is there any way in which I can download all the pdf files in the website by running a python code .If yes please tell me how to do it

Answer 1

You want to just download them as files or parse and extract the text in them?

Answer 2

The approach I'd suggest is first to retrieve the contents of the remote directory, filter out only *.pdf files and then download them one by one by looping through the list.

Two things:
1. This must be a public, non-restricted repository - otherwise the script will most likely get blocked/banned.
2. I have to check if a simple read/write will do for .pdf files.

I'll get back to it this evening, so look out :)

Answer 3

Pls let me know if this works for you (won't go in Sololearn):

It's not perfect and does not catch exceotions, but under the tested path inside the code - it works for me! 😎
