In a fit of creativity, I hacked together some Bash/Python scripts to programmatically download plain (OCR) text as well as PDF files from the HathiTrust. Here is synopsis on how to use them: Given an access key, secret token, and a HathiTrust identifier, output plain text as well as PDF versions of a book. $ ./bin/htid2txt.sh <token> <key> <identifier> $ ./bin/htid2pdf.sh <token> <key> <identifier> <length> $ ./bin/htid2books.sh <token> <key> <identifier> $ ./bin/collection2books.sh <token> <key> <tsv> The process is not fast but very functional.
