# Quick-and-dirty artstation sync
This is a personal and untested tool to keep (and update) local copies of artstation profiles via cli.
Project id's are saved in order to not re-download everything. This ensures that only new media will be downloaded in each cronjob instance.
No fancy bs going on. Just a simple script bodged together within 10 minutes at 3 AM.

Currently only working for images. Feel free to issue a pull request if you want more.

## Setup
Install required pip modules.
```bash
pip3 install requests pyyaml
```
All scripts require Python3. Tested using 3.9.9.

## Running it
Here we have two scripts:
```bash
grab.py $artist-name
```
This will grab one individual profile.

---

```bash
grab-all.py
```
This will call `grab.py` on all artists listed in `artists.yaml`.

Files will be saved to `./downloads/{artist_name}/*.{ext}`.
Logs will be saved to `./logs/{artist_name}.txt`.
Download indices (to skip already downloaded projects) are kept in `./already_saved/{artist_name}.txt`.

## A word on power usage
Do not overuse this or you might piss of artstations maintainers. Just because you CAN download 400 gigabytes of images per day doesn't mean that you should!
If you plan on downloading LOADS of stuff, you should add some sleep statement to cut the servers some slack.
