Mass downloads from epaper.tribuneindia.com

Greetings

I follow this Epaper https://epaper.tribuneindia.com/

Sample edition https://epaper.tribuneindia.com/2688056/The-Tribune/TT-27-May-2020#page/1/1

On 20th they stopped full pdf download. Only single page pdf are there (need to solve captcha) https://epaper.tribuneindia.com/download/newspaper/2688056

but if you view source code, there are hints~

 <div class="container-fluid pd-0 card-container fullpdflink-container" style="display: none;">
            <div class="user-card">
                              <a onClick="return trackEvent('fullpdflink','0');" href="javascript:;" class="fullpdflink log-btn" 

style="display: none;">Download full Newspaper</a>
                          </div>

Looks like they hid the download full pdf button. Can someone help me get full pdf? (if its really hidden somewhere)

Or a method to grab all pages in one go? What I'm thinking is like a userscript that triggers all pages to download.. maybe with a 2 second delay in between.. so as to not hammer their servers.

They have Punjabi (which I'm also interested in) and Hindi editions too.. back-end is all same. So I guess those domains can be accommodated too.

About the back-end~

They use a back-end from~ https://www.readwhere.com/

This paper has full pdf download button and it works.

Maybe you guys borrow code to make it work on tribune? Or just trigger single pages download in one go?

Thanks
