dagr.py

dagr.py (deviantArt gallery ripper) was a deviantArt image downloader script written in Python. In its current state, it is not working anymore and the project has been archived.

Several maintained alternatives exist, I personally recommend gallery-dl.

It could download every image (deviation) in a gallery, as well as every favorited deviation a deviant may have. Originally developed at http://lovecastle.org/dagr/ (now defunct), and then on Github

Dependencies

Installation

dagr is available on PyPI and has setuptools support.

So to install latest released version, you can just run:

# pip install dagr

To install from checked out source:

# python setup.py install

Gentoo package

dagr is available in the voyageur overlay (https://cafarelli.fr/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/voyageur-overlay/). You can install it with layman:

# layman -a voyageur
# emerge dagr

Current bugs and limitations

These should be tracked here: https://github.com/voyageur/dagr/issues

Configuration file

Some parameters can be set in a configuration file, the script will look for it in these locations:

  • ~/.config/dagr/dagr_settings.ini
  • ./dagr_settings.ini

You can copy and adapt the provided sample file, also available after installation in /usr/share/dagr

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the script:

$ python dagr.py
dagr.py v0.63 - deviantArt gallery ripper
Usage: dagr.py [-d directory] [-fgmhorstv] [-q query_text] [-c collection_id/collection_name] [-a album_id/album_name] deviant1 [deviant2] [...]
Example: dagr.py -gsfv derp123 blah55
For extended help and other options, run dagr.py -h

$ python dagr.py -gs doo22
dagr.py v0.63 - deviantArt gallery ripper
Current deviant: doo22
Ripping doo22's gallery...

FAQ

  • Will I be banned from deviantArt if I use dagr.py? Not likely. However, dagr.py could be blocked at any time. If you want to be sure your main account isn't banned, use a disposable account and a proxy.

  • The deviantArt page says a deviant has 145 deviations but the program can only find 139! Sometimes deviantArt reports the wrong number of deviations in a gallery. This is because you can submit deviations exclusively to a group without having it show up in your gallery.

  • Why can I not download mature deviations? You need to enable the mature content download option, either in the configuration file or via the "-m" command line flag
