script to download list of eBooks, and add and delete from SFX

get_ebooks.py

A python script to download csv files through FTP, and format data into a bibloader format.

FTP log-in and domain information needs to be stated ftp_info.py.

This repository includes a non-working example in ftp_info_example.py

To run the script

1. rename ftp_info_example.py to ftp_info.py and add the login credentials.
2. python get_ebooks.py

The script downloads a zip file, and unzips it into two CSVs. One csv lists the ebooks to delete from SFX, and the other one lists the ebooks to add to SFX.

The data will be changed from CSV format like so:

"Document ID","Title","PrintIsbn","EIsbn","Publisher","PublicationCity","PublicationDate","Title Edition","Authors","Lcc","Dewey","Lcsh","Subject","Price Non-Linear USD","Price Unlimited USD","Price 3-User USD","Price 1-User USD","Available for Sale","DDA Available","ATO Available","Full Download Available","STL Available","Fund Code","Full Record URL"
"1656079","Religion and the Racist Right : The Origins of the Christian Identity Movement",="9780807846384",="9781469616148","University of North Carolina Press","Chapel Hill","1997-07-01","2","Barkun, Michael","E184.A1 B245 1997","320.5/6","Anglo-Israelism -- United States -- History.; United States -- Race relations.; White supremacy movements -- United States -- History.","History; Political Science","45.00","67.50","56.25","45.00","Yes","Yes","Yes","Yes","Yes","","https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usmai/detail.action?docID=1656079"

The final bibloader format in usmai-active.txt and usmai-inactive.txt looks like this:
