Download German books

It would be great to have alos the possibility to get the German books also

That would be cool @schornhe! However, I'm checking here that the column "German Package Name" is empty in the springer files menu (https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17858272/data/v4/). Is this what you're referring about?

@renanxcortes : The German books are here: https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17863240/data/v2
This is a diffrent file

Ow, I see got it! Okay, I'll check here the feasibility of adding them. Thanks!

@renanxcortes : There is also a third list about medical and nursing books in German: https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17856246/data/v3
Maybe you can consider this list as well

Links and availability of epub/pdf for German textbooks (last two columns).

@schornhe and @Nosferican , The last PR addresses the issue and now the function has the German books. Please, could you try running (please note the lan = 'ger', which is for German language):

devtools::install_github("renanxcortes/springerQuarantineBooksR", force = T)
library(springerQuarantineBooksR)
setwd('different_destination_folder_for_german_books')
download_springer_book_files(lan = 'ger')

It will generate an output similar to this one below:

Please, let me know if it worked. And if yes, let your German friends know!!! :)

I reopened this issue, but add a partially solved label on it. I need to check how to add the medical and nursing books that @schornhe
mentioned in #16 (comment).

[schornhe]

@renanxcortes Thanks' for you efforts.
I have observed the following issues:
The program ist starting with
Downloading title latest editions. Processing... Werbe- und Konsumentenpsychologie (1 out of 52)
However in the list ...v2 are 55 books
The missing books are labeled in the column "Product Type" with "Undergraduate textbook" or "Graduate/advanced undergraduate textbook"
However in the collumn "language Collection" they are labeled with "German"

The program runs through and loads 52 books, but at th end I get the message
Warning message: In if (!dir.exists(current_folder)) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

My suggestion to add the nursing books I would be:
if (lan == 'ger_nurse') {books_list_url <- 'https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17863240/data/v3'}
