webcomicr

A simple tool for fetching webcomics from their websites and keeping them in storage. Runs off ~/.comics, which is a JSON file with the following contents for each comic:

{
  "Name": {
    "path": "The Folder to save the images in",
    "base_url": "The part of the URL common to all episodes",
    "last_page_indicator": "Text only appearing on the last page of the comic",
    "next_link": "RegEx for the link to the next page, with a capture group inside the href attribute value",
    "image": "RegEx for the image to download, with a capture group inside the src attribute value",
    "override_user_agent": "Optional: Send this string as User-Agent header to circumvent blocks"
  }
}

After creating the file with its respective values and the storage folder, run webcomicr Name url-of-the-first-episode to start downloading from the beginning. Afterwards you can just use webcomicr Name to check for and download new episodes.
