Purpose
I wanted to make a waifu tier list from animes I've watched but it takes time to find all the pictures. The idea of this script is to scrape pictures from MAL from a list of series supplied in anime_list text file. The script will create folder based on the names provided and download avatars from the character page. Granted, the names supplied has to be almost 100% correct otherwise it cannot find the page.
- There will be time out when MAL block the request since the script makes multiple URL requests in such short amount of time. It would then wait for like 2-3 mins to retry the operation.
- Sometimes, if search result directed to manga page, there will be error downloading.
- Folders already created will be skipped if share the same name.
- Inputting
oregairuis not supported but its full name willYahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru
Script is tested to run on python 3.10.6. Running on WSL with Ubuntu 22.04
Requires BS4, and tqdm packages from Python.
pip install bs4 tqdm
No authentications needed for MAL
python3 scrape.py
