LipiGhor font downloading script

I needed some Bengali fonts for a project and I found it quite tiresome to download multiple fonts quickly from LipiGhor. One of the reasons being the buttons on the preview cards are not actually anchor tags so you can't open the fonts in multiple tabs.

So I wrote a PYTHON script. It should download all of the fonts available in the website pretty quickly. You may need to run pip install requests before executing the script.

There's also a FontBD downloader script I wrote.

# LipiGhor font downloader

import re
import requests
import pathlib

OUTPUT_FOLDER = "lipighor_fonts"
URL = "https://lipighor.com/freefont.html?page=1"
DOWNLOAD_URL = "https://lipighor.com/download/"
REGEX = ".href=\'(.*).html\'"

html = requests.get(URL).text

for font in re.findall(REGEX, html):
    res = requests.get(DOWNLOAD_URL + font + ".zip", stream=True)
    folder = pathlib.Path(OUTPUT_FOLDER)
    folder.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    with open((folder / font).with_suffix(".zip"), "wb") as file:
        for chunk in res.iter_content(chunk_size=512):
            if chunk:
                file.write(chunk)

        print("Downloaded:" + font.rjust(40))
    
print("Done!")

The script is this much simple because, for some reason, a single HTML page actually holds all the font names. Only a portion of them(according to the page number) is displayed.
