Download all documents from conrad.de, pass credentials as commandline arguments:

$ document-dl --username mylogin --password mypass --action download conrad

Download all documents from conrad.de, pass credentials as env vars:

$ DOCDL_USERNAME='mylogin' DOCDL_PASSWORD='mypass' document-dl --action download conrad

Download all documents from o2online.de where "doctype" attribute contains "BILL":

$ document-dl --match doctype BILL --action download o2

You can also use regular expressions to filter documents:

$ document-dl --regex date '^(2021-04|2021-05).*$' o2

List all documents from o2online.de where year >= 2019:

$ document-dl --jq 'select(.year >= 2019)' o2

Download document from elster.de with id == 15:

$ document-dl --jq 'contains({id: 15})' --action download elster



Writing a plugin

Plugins are click-plugins which in turn are normal @click.command's registered in setup.py

  • put your plugin into "docdl/plugins"

  • write your plugin class:

    • if you just need requests, inherit from docdl.WebPortal and use self.session that's initialized for you
    • if you need selenium, inherit from docdl.SeleniumWebPortal and use self.webdriver that's initialized for you
    • add click glue code
    • add your plugin to setup.py docdl_plugins registry
import docdl
import docdl.util

class MyPlugin(docdl.WebPortal):

    URL_LOGIN = "https://myservice.com/login"

    def login(self):
        request = self.session.get(self.URL_LOGIN)
        # ... authenticate ...
        if not_logged_in:
            return False
        return True

    def logout(self):
        # ... logout ...

    def documents(self):
        # iterate over all available documents
        for count, document in enumerate(all_documents):

            # scrape:
            #  * document attributes
            #    * it's recommended to assign an incremental "id"
            #      attribute to every document
            #    * if you set a "filename" attribute, it will be used to
            #      rename the downloaded file
            #    * dates should be parsed to datetime.datetime objects
            #      docdl.util.parse_date() should parse the most common strings
            #
            # also you must scrape either:
            #  * the download URL
            #
            # or (for SeleniumWebPortal plugins):
            #  * the DOM element that triggers download. It is expected
            #    that the download starts immediately after click() on
            #    the DOM element
            # or implement a custom download() method

            yield docdl.Document(
                url = this_documents_url,
                # download_element = <some selenium element to click>
                attributes = {
                    "id": count,
                    "category": "invoices",
                    "title": this_documents_title,
                    "filename": this_documents_target_filename,
                    "date": docdl.util.parse_date(some_date_string)
                }
            )


    def download(self, document):
        """you shouldn't need this for most web portals"""
        # ... save file to os.getcwd() ...
        return self.rename_after_download(document, filename)


@click.command()
@click.pass_context
def myplugin(ctx):
    """plugin description (what, documents, are, scraped)"""
    docdl.cli.run(ctx, MyPlugin)

and in setup.py:

# ...
setup(
    # ...
    packages=find_packages(
        # ...
        entry_points={
            'docdl_plugins': [
                # ...
                'myplugin=docdl.plugins.myplugin:myplugin',
                # ...
            ],
            # ...
        }
)



Security

Beware that your login credentials are most probably saved in your shell history when you pass them as commandline arguments. You can use the input prompt to avoid that or set environment variables safely.



Bugs

document-dl is still in a very early state of development and a lot of things don't work, yet. Especially a ton of edge cases need to be covered. If you find a bug, please open an issue or send a pull request.

  • --browser settings beside chrome probably don't work unless you help to test them
  • some services offer more documents/data than currently scraped



TODO

  • logging
  • better documentation
  • properly parse rfc6266
  • delete action
