Kaliya

Image downloader

Kaliya is image downloader. What that means? Well sometimes I search for new images everywhere and found some cool ones on 4chan. However could not find good script that would do the thign I wanted to do, so I wroted my own.

What it does?

Exactly what would you expect to do. Imagine you are on specific site like 4chan wallpapers where are many many cool wallapers but you wanna donwload them all once and easily (whell until you stop script via ctr-c)

Just hit: kaliya http://boards.4chan.org/wg/thread/7176937 and to your current directory downdloades or founded supported image like jpeg, png, gif. Program searches for page title, a that names the folder for the images. You can also use -r swich to let kaliya run for infinitive time. Kaliya also checks for current directory to not download same image again.

At last kailya also saves all sites that you used it for downloading iamges. Hisory can be display via kaliya -l.

Currently supports:

• 4chan and similar
• imgur
• most sites even if they have later image loading

Installation

To install script just enter make or make install that will install script and application. To uninstall hit make uninstall. Kaliya is currently python3 only. Supports linux and macOS(wget is needed).

Dependencies

To be better kaliya uses two non default libraries - beautiful soup, request... etc . All of them should be installed via makefile.Kaliya currently support firefox only. But is needed for sites with later image loading.

kaliya's Issues

Make script more open to others

So there can be pull request for more sites in future

Automatically remove any meta data from image

Thanks to this will be downloading images with kaliya more privacy friendly since facebook is adding own metadata into images to track users.

add install.sh

To easy install whole script

support flickr and similar
