Python suite for batch-downloading images from galleries.

Many galleries make it hard to download all the images from a gallery. Their image links often redirect to a viewing page rather than the image itself, making it hard to grab all the images on a page (even with popular browser plugins). To get around this, gallery_get opens the redirect-links and grabs images from there.

reddit_get grabs all imgur albums and pictures submitted by a given reddit user. It relies on gallery_get.

Platforms, Python Versions:

• OSX (Python 2.7.2)
• Windows (Python 2.7.3)

Gallery Plugins:

• imgur (albums and galleries)
• reddit (only imgur links for now)
• imgbox
• imagevenue
• imagefap
• xHamster

Generic Plugin works for:

• setsdb.org
• alafoto.com
• forum.phun.org
• more

You can download this repository from GitHub, or grab it from PyPI:

$ pip install gallery_get

PyPI page is here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gallery_get

$ python gallery_get.py
$ python gallery_get.py [URL-OF-GALLERY]
$ python gallery_get.py [URL-OF-GALLERY] [DEST]

$ python reddit_get.py
$ python reddit_get.py [REDDIT-USERNAME]
$ python reddit_get.py [REDDIT-USERNAME] [DEST]

If you call with no parameters, you'll be prompted for the gallery URL (for gallery_get) or reddit user (for reddit_get). You will also be prompted for a destination directory, which it will remember as the default for next time.

If you skip [DEST] it will look for the contents of last_gallery_dest.txt, falling back on the current working directory.

import gallery_get
gallery_get.run()
gallery_get.run(URL)
gallery_get.run(URL, DESTINATION)

import reddit_get
reddit_get.run()
reddit_get.run(USER)
reddit_get.run(USER, DESTINATION)

Skipping parameters results in same corresponding behavior indicated above.

If you run gallery_get or reddit_get on the same URL/user and destination more than once, it will skip the already-existing images next time (unless the size has changed). This allows you to do incremental updates.

gallery_get comes with a few "plugins" customized for certain sites, along with a generic fallback plugin that works on multiple galleries. Note that galleries will change their markup from time to time, so these plugins may need to be updated to catch up with such changes. (Which brings us to the next section...)

Feel free to add your own plugins or make updates if you're familiar with regular expressions and/or Python logic!

Each plugin overrides the following with a string, regular expression, or function.

• title
• redirect links
• image links
• whether to use the same filename from the site, or use "001", "002", etc.

See comments in the existing plugin files for more details.
