# Download all Github-archived EEBO-TCP xml files from their associated repositories on Github
# Files were created "by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl,TEI @ Oxford."

# Running this script requires two preparatory steps. Either could be eliminated with a simple modification 
# 1. Creating a destination folder called tcp (all lowercase) that is placed in the same folder as this script
# 2. Downloading "TCP.csv" (all caps filename) from https://github.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts and placing it in the same folder as this script
import requests
import pandas as pd

# comment these lines out if you have the file already
r = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts/master/TCP.csv")
with open("TCP.csv", "a") as f:
    f.write(r.text)
    
df = pd.read_csv("TCP.csv")
ids = list(df['TCP'])
for i in ids:
    x = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/%s/master/%s.xml" % (i, i)
    try:
        xml_file = requests.get(x)
        xml_txt = xml_file.text
        with open("tcp/%s.xml"%i, "a") as myfile:
            myfile.write(xml_txt)
    except:
        pass
    myfile.close()

This is great! Thanks.
