update April 1, 2020

this is no longer maintained

blinkist is offering free premium for some time so now would be a good time to update this scraper

it's on my to-do list, but if I were to rewrite this I'd probably use nodejs and puppeteer

blinkist-scraper

Scrape blinkist https://www.blinkist.com/

Usage

1. First modify scraper.py with your login information
2. Then run python run.py to spawn the spider
3. The spider outputs a file books.json which is parsed by generate-html.py
4. generate-html.py outputs .html files into the html directory containing the raw book content

Future Improvements

• Ask for login information instead of hard coding into scraper.py
• Output ePub instead of html
