- # Is there a better way to get easily parseable ISBN information on a book?
- # I made the script below, but after a few queries it locks up with a captcha and the output that I get is unusable because of it.
- # With this script, after reading a book I can input its ISBN and it will download an HTML document that I can open with firefox that looks like pic related.
- # MEDIADIR is exported in my /etc/profile.
- # I'm not sure if adding the "-q" to wget would mess up the output.
- BOOKPATH="$MEDIADIR/documents/books/read"
- read -p "Search for ISBN: " answer
- wget https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/$answer.tmp && cat $BOOKPATH/$answer.tmp | head -n 50 > $BOOKPATH/$answer && rm -rf $BOOKPATH/$answer.tmp
- # Any help would be appreciated.
