e621-dl is a simple and fast e621 post/pool downloader. It is based upon the e621 api wrapper both in implementation and interface.
pip install e621-dl
- To download posts with the ids 12345 and 67891:
e6 posts get 12345 67891 - To download all posts that match the canine but not the 3d tag:
e6 posts search "canine -3d" - To download 500 posts that match the 3d tag:
e6 posts search 3d -m 500 - To download posts that match the 3d tag to directory e621_downloads:
e6 posts search 3d -d e621_downloads - To download all posts that match the 3d tag and replace all post duplicates from the parent directory with symlinks:
e6 posts search 3d -s
- To download the pools with the ids 12345 and 67891:
e6 pools get 12345 67891 - To download at most 10 pools whose names start with "Hello" and end with "Kitty" with anything else in the middle.
e6 pools search --name-matches Hello*Kitty -m 10 - To download the top 3 active series ordered by post count to a directory named "my_top_3":
e6 pools search --is-active --order post_count -m 3 -d my_top_3 - There are a lot more options so I recommend checking out the output of
e6 pools search --help
- To save e621 login information to be used for every future query:
e6 login - To remove e621 login information:
e6 logout
- To replace all post duplicates from the current directory (all of its subdirectories) with symlinks:
e6 clean
- If your tags include the minus (-) sign, a colon (:), or any other character bash/typer might consider special -- you must wrap your query in quotation marks. For example,
e6 posts search "3d -canine order:score" - For advanced reference, use
--helpoption. For example,e6 --help,e6 posts search --help, etc.
