Chegg Downloader:

Have a Chegg account and you want to download the solutions of a book locally?

Fill in the required url details in the SiteDetails.properties file and run the CheggDownloadRunner.java

How to Run the program for your Book

To make it run for your book, you need to update the necessary details in the SiteDetails.properties. Modify the following:

• bookName
• username
• password
• downloadUrl

Problems/Modifications that might occur:

1.Chegg might modify the xpath values in their site. In this case you need to update the xpaths in SiteDetails.properties

2.You might have new version of Firefox and Webdriver version might be out of date. In that case please update selenium-java version in pom.xml

3.Also if you run this program for a while, Chegg might block u as part of spam detection and might think your account is Compromised. In this case you need to reset your username and password and run the program again.

Note: It might not work if Chegg updates their html. If they update, you need to update the xpaths of the different elements in SiteDetails.properties Also the error conditions haven't been handled thoroughly. This program however will work as of Mar 27 2015.

Running in Intellij Idea

• I have used intellij idea and tried it out.
• It needs a selenium webdriver dependency.You can check pom.xml for its dependency list.
• To download the dependencies, you need to use maven (you might need to install if u dont have maven already on your system)
• Then its as simple as going into the root folder and running "mvn clean compile".
• Then right click on "CheggDownloadRunner.java" and run it
