Thanks a lot! Nice selection of upcoming free books in the next days, too!
EDIT: Ah, I'm blind... I'm guessing I've missed the past few free books :(

My virus scan is probably stupid and flagging all these files as malicious.

Hi! As Omicron666 noticed yesterday, they've now added a captcha to the claim page, does your script still work? I'm not sure how you scheduled it, but right now today's book ("Effective Python Penetration Testing") is not available on your site :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for notifying, looks like the ebook auto claim script I'm using is broken because of captcha
but -da command (which is download all claimed ebook) still works, so basically i just need to claim the ebook manually and let my server download it later as scheduled

Do they send the link to my email or something? Or do they just need it at the start to register me?
Comment has been collapsed.
You have to register to their website, then you can claim the free book.
Book is added to your library in their website.
You can then download it at anytime in epub format (adaptive format for ebooks, best suit for reading on mobile devices), pdf and other formats.

Cheers for the heads up, just getting into game dev myself :)

Well... there's a free e-book everyday. Today's one seems pretty good, too.
Thanks for the heads up Omicron666.

Thanks. Pity I missed the previous ones. Not that I'm ever going to read them, but hey, free stuff.

Check comments posted above. I can't add it in OP but there is a useful link... ;-) Files are legit but hosting them are probably not. ¯\(ツ)/¯ And host has apparently decided to add epub files too :-)

Thanks for the heads-up. Today's offer (Procedural Content Generation) has a lot to do with one of our gods, RNG.

Today's addition: Flask By Example (I'm trying not to miss any more books :P)
Comment has been collapsed.
There are many auto-claiming scripts around on the web :P, with options to download ebooks in wanted formats, copy to google drive, etc...
Now which one to use o_o ? :-) (which one is the lightest actually ? ^^)
Apparently, Packt have a free weekly ebook in their newsletter too (handled by some scripts as well)

Interesting! Thanks a lot! I'm curious about the scripts that handle the free weekly ebook from their newsletter, I'm wondering how they do that... :D
Comment has been collapsed.

only scraping the daily free books for now

Found this one: https://github.com/niqdev/packtpub-crawler
