1. Introduction GestDown is a lightweight, command-line utility designed to automate the download of academic and administrative documents from the GEST (Gestor Escolar) platform—a student/teacher management system widely used in various educational institutions (notably in Brazil and Portugal). The tool addresses a common pain point: the lack of batch-download functionality within the native GEST web interface.
You have repetitive bulk download needs from a GEST platform and basic command‑line comfort. When to avoid it: Your institution’s policies explicitly forbid automated access, or you need real‑time interactive navigation. Note: Always check your institution’s Acceptable Use Policy before running automated download tools like GestDown.
