Run the code to automatically download all the images from a list of URL-links in a ".txt" file. Works for google books previews. It is a Windows 10 batch script, so save as ".bat".
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
rem Specify the path to the Notepad file containing URLs
set inputFile=
rem Specify the output directory for the downloaded image files
set outputDir=
rem Create the output directory if it doesn't exist
if not exist "%outputDir%" mkdir "%outputDir%"
rem Initialize cookies and counter
curl -c cookies.txt -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3" "https://books.google.ca/" >nul 2>&1
set count=1
rem Read URLs from the input file line by line
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in ("%inputFile%") do (
set url=%%A
echo Downloading !url!
curl -b cookies.txt -o "%outputDir%\image!count!.png" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3" "!url!" >nul 2>&1 || echo Failed to download !url!
set /a count+=1
timeout /t %random:~-1% >nul
)
echo Downloads complete!

You must specify the input file of the URL-list, and specify the output folder for the downloaded images. Can use "copy as path".
URL-link list ".txt" file must contain only links, nothing else. Press "enter" to separate URL-links. To cancel the operation/process, press "Ctrl+C".
If somehow it doesn't work, you can always give it to an AI like ChatGPT to fix it up.
