imageboard-downloader-rs a command-line multi image gallery downloader made in Rust with a very simple, yet extensible API.
It is a cross-platform tool with speed, simple cli interface and multiple simultaneous downloads as its main focus.
While there aren't any stable releases yet, it is recommended to clone the git repository
bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/FerrahWolfeh/imageboard-downloader-rs.git
And build/run the code with cargo
bash
cd imageboard-downloader-rs
cargo build --release
cargo run --release -- "your_tag" "your_another_tag_(cool)" -o ~/
The final binary will be located at target/release/imageboard_downloader
To use the utility simply call it with space-separated tags
```bash
imageboard_downloader [OPTIONS] <TAGS>...
``
Or run withcargo`
bash
cargo run -- [OPTIONS] <TAGS>...
See more details with imageboard_downloader --help.
Download images from danbooru with specified tags:
```bash
imageboard_downloader "skyfire_(arknights)"
``
In case you want to authenticate with danbooru, use the--auth` flag only once. Then all subsequent downloads will use authentication as well.
Download only images with "safe" rating from e621 (also works with danbooru/konachan):
bash
imageboard_downloader -i e621 "ash_(pokemon)" "pikachu" --safe-mode
Download images from rule34 with 100 simultaneous downloads: ```bash
imageboard_downloader -i rule34 -d 100 "moe"
```
By default, the program will download files to your current dir with the following structure ./<gallery_name>/tag1+tag2+.../<file_md5>.png. In case you want to download files to another place use:
```bash
imageboard_downloader "kroos_(arknights)" -o /any/other/dir
``
This will save files in/any/other/dir/danbooru/kroos_(arknights)/
Save downloaded images with their id instead of md5 as filename: ```bash
imageboard_downloader -i e621 "wolf" "anthro" --id
```
