Python Volafile Downloader

Tool for downloading from volafile.org rooms via volapi. (Currently the downloader is working on volapi 5.17.0)

This downloader does not use webdrivers and selenium like volafile-downloader and instead uses a websocket connection over the API, which makes this implementation a lot more light-weight.

The downloader allows for blacklists/whitelists for uploaders, filename-search and filetypes. Furthermore you can create your own chat logs.
