# Patreon Post to Epub converter
This is a quick and dirty selenium based script to go and capture all of
the html posts in chronological order for a tag, then turn them into an epub.
Editing the script will allow you to use it for additional communities.
**Based on the work of [jstraw](https://github.com/jstraw/patreon-epub)**
## Usage
Create a yaml file for stories:
```
---
creator:
name: patreonname
stories:
- Walls
- College Stories
- WIP
blacklist:
- Taking a Break
- Thank you
```
Use `patreon.py --help` to get command usage information.
Either `-c` or `-f` are required, this will tell the script which browser
selenium should be trying to control. The `username` and `password` fields
are your patreon username and password, oauth is not supported.
## Setup
These steps are assuming you're using a virtual environment. Start a shell: powershell on windows, or bash/zsh on mac/linux.
```shell
$ python -m venv .venv
$ . .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r ../requirements.txt
$
```
If you're on windows this is `.venv/Scripts/` instead of being `.venv/bin/`.
In windows you may need to run `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process` before activating.
At this point you now need to configure the link between selenium (WebDriver)
and your browser. Follow the steps at
https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/installation.html#drivers to configure.
You can place the exe file for firefox or chrome in `.venv/bin` or
`.venv/Scripts` as long as you use the activate script to add the
virtual environment to your path.
You can now go back to your shell and run `python patreon.py --help` or read
the usage to run the script.
# Converting to other formats.
Epub is a open standard, and a good starting point, if you need a book in almost
any other ebook/document format, your best bet is to download
[Calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/) and then use the
[ebook-convert](https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/generated/en/ebook-convert.html) command.
```
ebook-convert Walls.epub Walls.pdf
