Downloading the internet, one goroutine at a time!
$ go get github.com/cavaliercoder/grab
Grab is a Go package for downloading files from the internet with the following rad features:
- Monitor download progress concurrently
- Auto-resume incomplete downloads
- Guess filename from content header or URL path
- Safely cancel downloads using context.Context
- Validate downloads using checksums
- Download batches of files concurrently
Requires Go v1.7+
If you are using an older version of Go, or require previous versions of the Grab API, you can import older version of this package, thanks to gpkg.in. Please see all GitHub tags for available versions.
$ go get gopkg.in/cavaliercoder/grab.v1
The following example downloads a PDF copy of the free eBook, "An Introduction to Programming in Go" and periodically prints the download progress until it is complete.
The second time you run the example, it will auto-resume the previous download and exit sooner.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/cavaliercoder/grab"
)
func main() {
// create client
client := grab.NewClient()
req, _ := grab.NewRequest(".", "http://www.golang-book.com/public/pdf/gobook.pdf")
// start download
fmt.Printf("Downloading %v...\n", req.URL())
resp := client.Do(req)
fmt.Printf(" %v\n", resp.HTTPResponse.Status)
// start UI loop
t := time.NewTicker(500 * time.Millisecond)
defer t.Stop()
Loop:
for {
select {
case <-t.C:
fmt.Printf(" transferred %v / %v bytes (%.2f%%)\n",
resp.BytesComplete(),
resp.Size,
100*resp.Progress())
case <-resp.Done:
// download is complete
break Loop
}
}
// check for errors
if err := resp.Err(); err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Download failed: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("Download saved to ./%v \n", resp.Filename)
// Output:
