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)/<file_md5>.png
If the specified directory does not exist, it will be created.
Save downloaded images with their id instead of md5 as filename:
bash
imageboard_downloader -i e621 "wolf" "anthro" --id
