This script can be used to generate urls of images stored within the wp-content/uploads/ of a WordPress server. This script uses Python3.9 and it would be a good practice to use a virtualenv for this scraper.
Install the required python libraries using the following command
pip install -r requirements.txt
As the libraries are getting installed,
Add the wp-content urls to be scraped into the test.txt file. (Sample urls are already present in the file. Remove them and add your urls.)
To run the script,
python scrape.py
The image links will be stored in files with the name <site_name>_links.txt.
You can now use your favourite Download manager to import the text files and download those images to your system.
P.S: This only works for Apache based WordPress sites.
- If the output file is empty, check if the URL is accessible.
