Hi there, There’s a python library that I’ve had good luck with (https://internetarchive.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html ). It comes with a command line tool, ia (https://internetarchive.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html ), that will easily do what you’d like.
“ ia search ‘collection:bplsceep’ “ will return the list of Internet Archive identifiers for that collection.

A cool collection of early English print materials is available at the following URL: https://archive.org/details/bplsceep Each item is associated with an Internet Archive identifier. If I were able to easily extract these identifiers, then I would be more easily able to provide services based on the collection. But I’m lazy. I don’t want to read the HTML and scrape it accordingly. Ick! I’d rather be given the list of bibliographics in a more computer-friendly way. Again, can I programmatically read the contents of a Internet Archive collection? — Eric Morgan
