This is a development version of yande-crawler project.

Usage:

1. make sure that you have all require modules installed.
2. make sure that you can access https://yande.re in your terminal.
3. in main.py, set which tags and how many pages you want to download.
4. run python main.py and wait.
5. images downloaded will be found in . or the path you set(recommended)

Example

main(tags=['loli', 'naked'], download_directory=r'D:\file\Pictures\yande', score_threshold=60)

Obviously, this is not quite convenient currently. Afterwards, I will develop a GUI for it.

Development log:

• 2021/11/25
  • use API instead of parsing HTML
  • add tqdm to indicate download progress
• 2021/12/29
  • add multi-processing to accelerate the downloading
  • automatically allocate filename by index, this can organize the files orderly
  • automatically judge how many pictures need to be downloaded, you can also fix the number on your own, but make sure not exceeding the max available number
  • add retrying mechanism, if some images' downloadings fail (quite normal since server and web or vpn are not stable), the code can retry them afterwards.
• 2021/12/30
  • add image filtering according to the score given by the website. Hint: (according to the website, score is computed by thumbs-ups subtracting thumbs-downs. This can be influenced by the time the picture uploaded, the promoting and its quality. Some tags tend to have high scores while others' are quite low, it is advised to try different scores for a tag to find the one you want)
  • fix some tiny bugs
  • to avoid dead cycle, add retrying times limit.
