Thingiverse REST API python wrapper
A python based Thingiverse.com object scraper and downloader. The program can search of objects using keywords, licenses, users, categories and then sort the results, for example returning the most popular or newest uploads.
First you need to install the requirements - there are not that many ๐.
pip install -r requirements.txt

export API_TOKEN "<your-api-token>"
To see the various options available to you type the following into your terminal.
python thingiscrape.py --help
