FurAffinity Downloader

furaffinity-dl is a bash script for batch downloading of galleries and favorites from furaffinity.net users. I've written it for preservation of culture, to counter the people nuking their galleries every once a while.

Supports all known submission types: images, texts and audio. Sorts downloaded files in chronological order. I'd like to eventually expand it to download the description pages as well. Patches are welcome!

Requirements

Coreutils, bash and wget are the only dependencies.

furaffinity-dl was tested only on Linux. It should also work on Mac and BSDs. Windows users can probably get it to work via Cygwin, but running a virtual machine with Linux might be simpler.

Usage

furaffinity-dl section/username

All files from the given section and user will be downloaded to the current directory.

Examples

furaffinity-dl gallery/kodardragon

furaffinity-dl scraps/---

furaffinity-dl favorites/kivuli

You can also log in to FurAffinity and download restricted content, like this:

furaffinity-dl gallery/mithril07 your_username_here

In this case you will be prompted for your password. It will not be displayed on the screen as you type it!

TODO

• Download author's description of the artwork, and ideally the entire description page along with user comments

It is your own responsibility to check whether batch downloading is allowed by FurAffinity terms of service and to abide by them. For further disclaimers see LICENSE.
