furaffinity-dl is a python script for batch downloading of galleries (and scraps/favorites) from furaffinity users users or your submission notifications! Mainly it was written for preservation of culture, to counter the people nuking their galleries every once a while. But no-one is restricting you from just using is for convenience.
Supports all known submission types: images, text, flash and audio.
python3 (Recommended version is 3.10.x and above)
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
furaffinity-dl has been tested on Linux and Windows OSs, however it should also work on Mac or any other platform that supports python.
The script currently only works with the "Modern" theme
When downloading a folder make sure to put everything after /folder/, for example 123456/Folder-Name-Here instead of just 123456 (ref #60).
