# SafariBooks
Download and read in EPUB your favorites books from [Safari Books Online](https://www.safaribooksonline.com).
## Usage:
```bash
~$ python3 safaribooks.py --cred "account_mail@mail.com:password01" XXXXXXXXXXXXX
```
The book ID (the X-es) are the digits that you can find in the URL.
Ex: `https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/book-name/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/ch01.html`
The first time you use the program, you have to specify your SafariBooksOnline account credentials.
Next times you want to download a book, before session expires, you can omit the credential because the program save your session cookies in a file called `cookies.json`.
