LibGenesis

A simple module for getting and downloading paid books or PDF's for free. This module is based on Library Genesis and works by getting books straight from the portal. More features will be integrated soon.

How it works

Install and require the package

    const libgen = require('libgenesis');

Pass your search query.

The function returns a promise, Hence, you are to wait for response as below

    libgen("book name here").then(function(books){
        //do something with books
        console.log(books);
    }).catch(function(error){
        //throw error
        throw error;
    })

The returned array of objects contains the various fields as in the example below
A null value is returned when no book was found for the search term. And download of books is possible by a simple GET request to the link in the donwload property in the response.
