$ snap-dl

github issues github stars

this project was inspired by Snapchat-All-Memories-Downloader by ToTheMax. i wanted to recreate their project in bash because node.js scares me.

why?installusage

why

snapchat allows you to takeout your data at any time, but it does not actually download your precious memories by default. in the takeout data, they give you a json file filled with download links for each and every one of your snapchat memories. this is not ideal for people who just want to backup all their memories and don't care about the technical data that snapchat gives you. this script reads the memories_history.json file in the json folder from your backup and gives you some options depending on what you want to do.

dependencies
