This feature is currently a work in progress.

If Rebrickable fails to locate the instructions for a set, the system will suggest using Peeron as an alternative source.

Example Flow

Search Rebrickable
Searching an old set on Rebrickable will fail.
Peeron Search Results
When searching Peeron, a selection of available pages will be displayed:
Selecting and Downloading Instructions
Users can select the desired pages, after which a PDF will be created and downloaded:
Error Handling
- If Peeron fails to find the set, an error message will be displayed.
- If Peeron finds the set but cannot locate the instructions, an error message will also be shown.

PDF creation

if img_response.ok:

    img_data = img_response.content
    image = Image.open(BytesIO(img_data))
    width, height = image.size

    # Add the image to the PDF
    pdf.add_page(format=(width * 0.264583, height * 0.264583))  # Convert pixels to mm (1 px = 0.264583 mm)
    pdf.image(BytesIO(img_data), x=0, y=0, w=width * 0.264583, h=height * 0.264583)

# Save the PDF
pdf.output(filename)

This unfortunately needs three extra libraries:

from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
from fpdf import FPDF

To do

The basic functionality is working, but the following tasks remain:

Add the necessary environment variables (various urls and filename template)
Update the socket configuration to support different download urls (or add a new download method to the socket)

Proof of concept code (in a self-contained python script) can be seen here https://gitea.baerentsen.space/FrederikBaerentsen/InstructionsDownloader/src/branch/main/dl_peeron.py. This is before i changed to using BytesIO stream without saving the image locally.
