gce-wget

v1.0.2 What's new

Force qualification flags: O Levels support added

• You can now optionally force the program to search a particular qualification using the -i, -a, -o options, for IGCSE, A Levels, and O Levels respectively. Automatic search still remains if these options are not given, but only for IGCSE and A Levels. See details in Usage below.

gce-wget is a specialized tool to bulk download IGCSE and AS/A Levels (O Levels not yet supported) papers from papers.gceguide.net, skipping the need to write regexes and make link files. This tool requires wget to be pre-installed on the machine.

Installation

Use any of the following methods.

1. Downloading binary

• You can download the binary from the releases page.

• Move the binary gce-wget to /usr/bin with

sudo mv Downloads/gce-wget /usr/bin

2. Using Cargo

If you are a Rust programmer and have Cargo installed, simply run the following:

cargo install gce-wget

This will install the binary from crates.io

3. Building from GitHub

If you have Cargo installed, run the following commands

git clone https://github.com/famedaxolotl/gce-wget

cd gce-wget

cargo build --release

Now, run with cargo run or move the binary to /usr/bin with:

sudo mv target/release/gce-wget /usr/bin

Usage

Use gce-wget --help to see detailed help page.

The basic command structure (no options) is:

gce-wget [SUBJECT_CODE] [YEARS]

For example, gce-wget 0620 2021,2022 will download all papers of IGCSE Chemistry from 2021 and 2022

To selectively download papers, use the -t (--types) and -c (--codes) options, which allow you to enter comma-seperated lists of paper types and codes.

For example:

gce-wget 0620 -t ms,qp -c 21,41 2022,2023

This downloads all Variant 1 extended MCQ and Theory papers of IGCSE Chemistry years 2022 and 2023, and their marking schemes.

To download O Levels papers, use the -o (--o-level) option like so:

gce-wget 5070 -o -t ms,qp -c 11,12 2021

This downloads all Paper 11 and Paper 12 question question paper and marking schemes from O Levels Chemistry 2021.

Use the -i (--igcse) and -a(--a-level) options if, for example, the programs seems to searching the wrong qualification and is unable to find the subject, even though the correct code was entered.
