Maybe I am not just very good at this, but holy guacamole is it difficult to write a Python script to automatically download a set of open-access article PDFs using their DOIs. I am using Unpaywall to fetch the PDF links to open-access articles and user agents to reduce bad responses, but still from the 50 articles I needed to download, I got five. I guess the rest is just manual clicking and saving. Then again, I understand that publishers do not want big tech to pilfer their libraries.
