SafariBooks-Downloader is a project created and maintained by Nico Haenggi. This version is an unattended version to download books using SSO modified by Adán Carrasco.

Install Node.js. We recommend the LTS release. The SafariBooks-Downloader has been tested on most node versions between v4.4.5 and v.6.9.5 and should therefore cause no problems running on one of these versions. For more information about how to install it on your environment, see Installing Node.js via package manager. To verify your installation, run:

node -v

If a version is returned, you did successfully install Node.js. Next up, make sure npm is properly installed. To verify, run:

npm -v

If the command returns a version number, you're all set. Next, we'll clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/adancarrasco/SafariBooks-Downloader.git
cd SafariBooks-Downloader

Install all the dependencies with npm.

npm install

Congratulations! You've successfully installed SafariBooks-Downloader.

You need to update the cookie property in the .config file + the bookid that you'd want to download.

2. Open the Developer Tools
3. Go to Network pane
4. Go to the book that you'd want to download (look for the book id in the url, for example: 9781491925607)

6. Paste the cookie and bookid in .config file
7. Run the following command: npm run safaribooks-downloader

That's it, the epub will be created under books folder, if there's an issue you might need to create the folder by your own.

• generating ePub with cover image, authors and publisher
• custom stylesheets will be imported (only one currently)
