✨ Why use Dalilk English Novels Scraper?

  • 📖 The whole story as text — every chapter with its title, start page and word count, plus the full novel in one field.
  • 🎧 Every audio clip — direct MP3 links per chapter and part, with a second link to the same clip on the site's own CDN.
  • 🔤 Vocabulary and quiz — the novel's key words with their Arabic meaning, and each reading-check question with its options and answer.
  • 🌍 Arabic translation — the translation pages of each chapter as plain Arabic text (on by default, can be turned off).
  • 🖼️ Pictures — the cover image, the pictures placed on the pages and, if you want them, links to every page image.
  • ⚡ Fast and light — reads only the text parts of each novel (about 1 MB per novel), four novels at a time.

🎯 Use cases

  • 🧑‍🏫 Teachers and tutors — build reading lists, worksheets and quizzes from graded English stories.
  • 📱 Learning apps — load graded readers with audio, vocabulary and comprehension questions into your own app.
  • 🗂️ Offline study packs — keep the text, the audio links and the word lists of every novel in one spreadsheet.
  • 🔎 Research — study vocabulary, text length and difficulty across the beginner, intermediate and upper-intermediate levels.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a dalilk.com account? No. The library and its novels are public.

Can I get a PDF? The results come as JSON, CSV or Excel, one row per novel with the text, audio links and pictures. PDF is not an export format.

Why is an Arabic meaning or a quiz answer empty for some novels? In some novels the Arabic words are drawn as pictures inside the page, not written as text, so there is no text to read. The English text, the vocabulary words and the audio are still there; quiz answers shown as pictures come as answerImageUrl.

How many novels are there? The library lists 100 novels (30 beginner, 37 intermediate, 33 upper intermediate). Two pairs of library entries open the same novel; the note field says so for those rows.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Run it on a schedule to catch new novels, or start it from the API and read the dataset.

⚠️ Limits

  • Text that a novel shows only as a picture (some Arabic meanings and answers) is not turned into text.
  • A few words in some novels come out with a wrong letter where the novel's own font maps a letter pair to another character; the actor repairs the common English cases.
  • The reading levels are the library's own.
