tankobon 2021.6.3

Yet another manga scraper and downloader

tankobon

What?

tankobon is (somewhat) like youtube-dl for manga websites: you can fetch manga from a few sources (websites).

Currently, the following websites are supported:

• catmanga.org
• mangakakalot.com
• mangadex.org

Versioning Change

tankobon will now use the version format YYYY.MM.MICRO:

• YYYY is the full 4-digit year.
• MM is the 1-2 digit month.
• MICRO is the release number for that month.

API Docs

See here.

Usage (CLI)

# Add a manga url to the cache (at ~/.tankobon):
tankobon refresh https://catmanga.org/series/komi

# Then download it (to the current folder)...
tankobon download https://catmanga.org/series/komi

# ...and pack it into a nice pdf file for use with your favourite e-reader.
tankobon pdfify -o komi.pdf

Or maybe you might want to use the GUI instead:

tankobon gui

What it can do:

• Add/refresh/delete manga
• Show HTML-based previews of the manga cover, description, etc.
• Download manga

What it can't do:

• Show manga pages (pdf reader?)

Note on mangadex

Since mangadex's frontend isn't really done yet, manga hosted there do not have a 'public' url yet. To add a mangadex manga, the url must look like this:

https://mangadex.org/(manga uuid)

Todo

• tests and docs (docs done)
• create GUI to make downloading easier, like youtube-DLG
• Add user configuration to select another language
• Searcher class (to search for manga?)

Install

pip install tankobon
