Shield:
This is a tool for bulk downloading assets from The Spriters Resource.
This tool provides a scanning feature, which scans the list of available game assets on the website and caches that information so it can be used for searching without HTTP requests.
Scanning is only required if you want to use the search functionality. Searching is only really necessary if you don't know the URL of the game assets you are looking for.
spriter get <path>
Downloads all of the assets at
https://www.spriters-resource.com<path>.e.g.
/ds_dsi/dgmnworldds/(must include leading slash)Downloaded files will be placed in
/data/downloads<path>relative to the working directory.
Scanning is required before using search functionality. These commands scan the site and index information about what is available.

spriter scan games --meta scan -m

spriter scan games --pages <first-page-number> <last-page-number>
