How to use

Installation

(NOTE: this assumes you already have node.js)

1. Download and extract the repo
2. Open a terminal window in the folder where you extracted the repo
3. Run npm i to install all the required dependencies

Usage

1. Open a terminal window in the folder where you extracted the repo
2. Run node index.js
3. Open the dev tools (F12) and go to the storage(Firefox) or application(Chromium) tab, there click on Cookie, then https://my.bsmart.it, then copy in the terminal the cookie called _bsw_session_v1_production
4. Input the id of the book you'd like to download, either from the list or from the url, after /books/. It's ususally a 4 digit number
5. Press enter and the script will start working, a file will be saved in the same folder as the one with the index.js with the name of the book, containing the full book downloaded.

NOTE: some times this doesn't work flawlessly, i've tryed to fix all the issues I've had but in some cases you might need to do a manual download and merge, for this I've left some commented code for the techys.

Enjoy
