In Defenders-ESC/pdfdown: Robust Downloads of Portable Document Format (PDF) Files
Description
pdfdown provides one primary function, download_pdf, and a small
number of exported helper functions that might be useful in other contexts.
Details
Scraping PDFs from the web can run into little hitches that make
writing a scraper annoying. This simplifies PDF scraping by creating a
dedicated function and support functions to, e.g., test for PDFness. Ensures
URL encoding, handles missing URLs gracefully. The filename is the basename
of the URL with " " replaced with "_". download_pdf includes the
pause parameter to limit the rate at which requests hit the hosting
servers.
