The Article Package Download service at ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc
allows you to download article
metadata, content, media files, supplementary materials
in XML format and PDF (if present) in a single package file
for Open Access Subset.
Article Package Download files are organized into sub-directories and files as shown below:
/oa_file_list.csv /oa_file_list.txt /oa_package/ 00/ 00/ PMC1790863.tar.gz PMC2329613.tar.gz PMC2599765.tar.gz ... .. ..
As you can see from the above list, the package file of each article is archived as .tar and compressed as .gz. It is located randomly in 2-level sub-directory of xx/xx. You need to download the oa_file_list.csv or oa_file_list.txt file to find out which article is located in which sub-directory.
The "oa_file_list" file contains several fields as shown in the following example:
File - oa_package/08/e0/PMC13900.tar.gz Article Citation - Breast Cancer Res. 2001 Nov 2; 3(1):55-60 Accession ID - PMC13900 Last Updated - 2019-11-05 11:56:12 PMID - 11250746 License - NO-CC CODE
If you decompress and open the package file of an article, you will see several files. For example:
fyicenter$ gunzip PMC3065034.tar.gz fyicenter$ tar -xf PMC3065034.tar fyicenter$ ls -l PMC3065034 4725 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.001.gif 110840 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.001.jpg 2497 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.002.gif 53726 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.002.jpg 1782 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.003.gif 42992 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.003.jpg 2070 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.004.gif 114396 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.004.jpg 2273 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.005.gif 50779 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.005.jpg 51227 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.nxml 1274530 Apr 26 2017 BCRI2011-164197.pdf
