The concept of automation is relatively broad. Does it mean to automatically search and download the papers of all IEEE stations, or provide a URL and then automatically download the paper PDF on the page and extract metadata, or automatically download the papers in the search result list of keywords? You need to know your own needs first, and the difficulty of these "automatic" implementations is different. Listen to your meaning, your network environment should be able to download IEEE PDF papers. It should be noted that if a large number of papers are downloaded in batches, the C-segment address may be blocked and others cannot access it.

Python is ok, you can start with the basics of urllib, you can also use a simulated browser, and there are frameworks like scrapy. In a word, it is technically feasible.

If you just write papers and organize documents, you can learn to use Zotero, which can easily download papers on the page and automatically generate metadata, references and comments. Besides IEEE websites, many other website types are supported.
