You can supply filter using -f
, for example to download issues between
4063895
and 4063901
, you can write as
$ magzdb -i 1826 -f "eid > 4063895 and eid < 4063901"
You can use eid
, year
in the filter expression.
eid > 4063895 and eid < 4063901
oreid >= 4063895 and eid <= 4063901
eid >= 4063895
oreid != 4063895
year >= 2018
,year <= 2018
,year == 2018
or evenyear != 2018
$ magzdb -i 1826 -l
$ magzdb -i 1826 -l -P magazine
$ magzdb -i 1826 -l -P magazine --downloader wget
This is recommended since internal downloader does not support resuming interrupted downloads.
If you don't want to install official Python to your system (global). You can install pyenv installer environment under your specific account. It's prefered method for macOS users, because High Sierra and later macOS ships with old Python 2.7.10.
