In this tutorial, I will teach you how to download PDF files from URLs using Python programming language. The complete script to download pdfs from website is given below.
We will make use of Beautiful Soup 4 and Requests libraries to build the functionality of downloading PDF files from URLs.
pip install requests
pip install bs4
# Import libraries
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# URL from which pdfs to be downloaded
url = "https://nanonets.com/blog/deep-learning-ocr/"
# Requests URL and get response object
response = requests.get(url)
# Parse text obtained
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
# Find all hyperlinks present on webpage
links = soup.find_all('a')
i = 0
# From all links check for pdf link and
# if present download file
for link in links:
if ('.pdf' in link.get('href', [])):
i += 1
print("Downloading file: ", i)
# Get response object for link
response = requests.get(link.get('href'))
# Write content in pdf file
pdf = open("pdf"+str(i)+".pdf", 'wb')
pdf.write(response.content)
pdf.close()
print("File ", i, " downloaded")
print("All PDF files downloaded")python code.py
