Comic Extractor

Extract and download images from comic sites
How to know if a comic site is supported ?
if the sites had comic image and next button to view next page of the comic, it has high chance to be supported (well, you still need to implement the extractor by yourself, but still... )

Requirements

• Python
  I developed this using Python 3.6, untested on other version
• BeautifulSoup4
  Web scraping library for python
• Requests
  Http request library for python
• urllib for downloading the image

Installation

(Optional) Using python virtualenv

virtualenv -p python .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

install all the requirements package

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

if using virtualenv, make sure you already activate the virtualenv

source .venv/bin/activate

for extracting from Housepets comic,

python housepets.py

for extracting from Foxy Flavored Cookie comic,

python pobrepucho.py

for extracting from Cave and Critters comic (18+),

python pobrepucho.py

Need support for another comic ?

Why not develop your own function ?
You need to extend ComicScrapper class from core.py and implement the get_next_page and get_comic_img_url function. get_next_page function need to return string of next page url (example : "http://next.page/url/next") or None if there is no next page
get_comic_img_url function have to return string comic image url of the param page (example : "http://this.page/url/image.png").
After all that, instantiate your class (need at least url param for first page of the comics, and directory_name param for downloaded directory name), and call run() method to start extracting.
Downloaded files will be in download folder in this directory.
