Installation

git clone https://github.com/Lysagxra/PixivDownloader.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

Single Album Download

To download a single album from an URL, you can use album_downloader.py, running the script with a valid album URL.

Usage

python3 album_downloader.py <album_url>

Example

python3 album_downloader.py https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/122835267

Batch Download

To batch download from multiple album URLs, you can use the main.py script. This script reads URLs from a file named URLs.txt and downloads each one using the album downloader.

Usage

1. Create a file named URLs.txt in the root of your project, listing each URL on a new line.

• Example of URLs.txt:

https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/123398947
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/123399029
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/123399604

• Ensure that each URL is on its own line without any extra spaces.
• You can add as many URLs as you need, following the same format.

2. Run the batch download script:

python3 main.py

3. The downloaded files will be saved in the Downloads directory.

Logging

The application append the downloaded albums in a file named already_downloaded.txt to avoid duplicates.
