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.

pip3 install request pyyaml

All scripts require Python3. Tested using 3.9.9.

Running it

Here we have two scripts:

grab.py $artist-name

This will grab one individual profile, if it is not already downloaded.

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.
