make a script that downloads books from link.springer.com with login data in python

You can use the requests library in Python to programmatically login to your link.springer.com account and download books. Here's a sample script to get you started:

main.py
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# Login data
login_url = 'https://link.springer.com/'
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'

# Create session
session = requests.Session()

# Get login page
login_page = session.get(login_url)

# Parse HTML and get login form
soup = BeautifulSoup(login_page.content, 'html.parser')
login_form = soup.find('form', {'id': 'login-form'})

# Extract form data
form_data = {}
for input_field in login_form.find_all('input'):
    if 'name' in input_field.attrs:
        form_data[input_field['name']] = input_field.get('value', '')

# Add username and password to form data
form_data['username'] = username
form_data['password'] = password

# Submit login form
response = session.post(login_url, data=form_data)

# Download book
book_url = 'https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4614-7178-6'
book_page = session.get(book_url)
with open('book.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(book_page.content)
955 chars
37 lines

In this script, we first create a session using the requests library. We then make a GET request to the login page and parse the HTML using BeautifulSoup. We extract the login form data and add our username and password to it. We then submit the form data using a POST request to login to our account.

Once we're logged in, we can download the book by making a GET request to the book URL and saving the response content to a file. Note that you'll need to replace your_username and your_password with your actual login credentials, and book.pdf with the desired name of your downloaded book file.
