[site request] imgur.com albums/images #2157

Can you name a specific example URL? youtube-dl also focuses on video or audio files, I doubt images transfer over well. |
|
Example URL: http://imgur.com/a/EgBYo As nodiscc said, you can download this album zipped simply adding /zip to the original url (http://imgur.com/a/EgBYo/zip). You may prefer to use version 2 of the api and receive a xml/json with images urls (http://api.imgur.com/2/album/EgBYo/images http://api.imgur.com/2/album/EgBYo/images.json). Another alternative is to use the current version of the API (http://api.imgur.com/), but it requires to register your application. |

Sorry for the delay, for some reason this didn't show up in my inbox.
It also happens to support some image hosting sites (flickr), so why not. If you think it's not appropriate, well ok. |

The flickr extractor downloads a "photostream" video. I'm afraid that virtually all current functionality of youtube-dl would be unusable with photos only, and therefore the user experience would suffer (for example, recoding is senseless, and individual images don't have any titles). Therefore, I regrettably close this issue. If there is an implementation, I'd certainly merge it in, but for now I'm leaving it as is. I'm not sure whether "download everything" is feasible as a project scope, but I'd certainly love to have it some time. |

@phihag Thanks for your reply, again, it didn't show up in my Github inbox. I agree with what you said. For what it's worth, I now use https://github.com/alexgisby/imgur-album-downloader when I need to download imgur albums. |
|
I don't believe it's true that you can merely add How do I download that. It would be nice to feed that into |

Well, |
Hi, thanks for your greaat work on youtube-dl. I use it daily and absolutely love it.
Would it be desirable to add support for http://imgur.com album downloads? There's a python script at https://github.com/alexgisby/imgur-album-downloader that does exactly this, I would like it to be added to youtube-dl (it already supports Flickr albums, so why not).
The other way to download imgur albums is to add
/zipat the end of the album url (but it doesnt save bandwith as pngs/jpgs are already compressed formats, and draws the host's CPU resources, and you have to extract zipped files after download in order to view them).Support for individual images (images that are not from an album) would be nice too. What do you think?
Thanks again
