Ovi-Store-Downloader

Small shell script to ease browsing archived Ovi Store on Wayback Machine.

This small Python3 script can help in browsing Ovi Store nowadays more easily. Before, you needed to:

• Have direct link to app (e.g. http://store.ovi.com/content/260149);
• Then, you could add /download at the end of the url;
• And pray and pray that it will be archived on Wayback Machine.

Not more! With this small script, it gets easier! What you get?

• ability to search ONLY for apps, which are really archived on Wayback Machine;
• download chosen or all;
• download app with specific ID
• start bulk-downloading content with specific extension
• download desired file with provided filename
• change name of files automatically, to make them more pretty

Requirements:

• machine with Python 3 installed
• requests module. On Linux it's quite easy - Python should be installed by default. On Windows download it from Python.org OR you could use something like Cygwin / WSL.

To install requests module: On Windows, use pip (in cmd/PowerShell):

pip install requests

On Arch Linux/Manjaro:

sudo pacman -Syu python-requests

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install python3-requests

For other distros, search in Google.

• colorama library, if not installed already. Use the same as above, replacing requests with colorama.
• tqdm library, if not installed already. Use the same as above, replacing requests with tqdm.
