Hey all,
I’m looking to grab the audio files from Blinkist (I have an annual subscription if that matters) because I want to be able to listen to them at a slightly faster speed and their in app player doesn’t allow this.
Is there a way to either rip these from the site using a scraper - the Blinkist-m4a-downloader on GitHub doesn’t work anymore - or I guess automate a process to save the books in app, download them - audio files are streamed but you can save and download for offline playback within the app - and three somehow pull them off my phone storage?
Just implemented it in audiobook-dl. Hope it works.
Oh nice one, I’ll take a better look at it when I get him. how does it work exactly? Will I need to manually point it at the book url?
Yeah. Specify the books by url. Just run
audiobook-dl [url]after installing. It supports downloading multiple books with a single command.Cool. I’ll give it a test. You wouldn’t know away to scrape all the book urls would you?
Not right now, but I will see if I can figure something out.
