OSM-image-archiver

A quick project I threw togeher which has 3 scripts:

imgur_taginfo_to_url_list.py

Downloads all imgur links from Openstreetmap's Taginfo and saves to a txt file.

Download images.sh

Downloads the images that are in the txt file from the previous script

Do the imgur links still work.py

This script checks to see if all the imgur urls in the file can still be accessed or if they've been deleted

Snapshot of all images:

Twice a week using Github Actions the script is run to pull all the imgur urls from taginfo. The latest version you can find here: recent.txt

And here you can download the actual images (DO NOTE: I myself am not giving permission to use these images. Some of them have/had licenses on their respective Imgur pages which say what license applies to each one)

These downloads are based on the url list from 2024 03 05:

https://drive.proton.me/urls/A8TW092SPG#CCSgnfEORzVh

Torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:fb96ec1eb2525f1b59704f86f3794459e3a728cb&xt=urn:btmh:1220da065730b26404e3fa83903b6a9014c3d0b44caa157ff5da3a2d86eba68c1ece&dn=osm

The amount of files is lower than the actual .txt file, because some urls were simply broken or deleted on Imgur's servers.

Status of imgur links on OSM:

As of 2023 10 19 there are 26421 links but only 18 of them are broken. 4 of which were in this backup and will be recovered.
