bookget is a Go-based command-line tool for downloading digitized ancient books and rare texts from 50+ digital libraries. It ships prebuilt binaries for major platforms and also offers a Windows GUI variant.

Use cases

  • download digitized ancient books from digital libraries
  • batch download scanned rare texts as images or pdfs
  • scrape historical book scans from library websites
  • archive digitized classical Chinese literature
  • bulk fetch pages from online digital library collections

When to choose

  • you need to download digitized古籍 from supported digital library sites
  • you want a ready-made binary with no coding required
  • you need cross-platform support including Windows, Linux, and macOS

When to avoid

  • the target library site is not among the 50+ supported sources
  • you need a general-purpose web scraper rather than a specialized book downloader
  • you require a library API to embed in your own application
