Notes
- Default download location is a
Downloadsfolder in the current working directory (will be created automatically) - Input link format:
https://kemono.party/{service}/user/{user_id}orhttps://kemono.party/{service}/user/{user_id}/post/{post_is} - Using any date option will not downlaod any gumroad posts because they have no dates
- Using
--ignore-errosposts with errors will not be archived - Using
--max-filesizeor--min-filesizewill cause files that don't havecontent-lengthin their headers to not download. This mainly includes external inline images, pfp, and banners. - When using
--favorite-usersor--favorite-postsyou must get your cookies.txt after logging into kemono.party. - You may need to install
ffmpegforyt-dlpto work - If downloading with
yt-dlpfails that will count as an error and the post won't be archived. This includes yt-dlp failing because the site was just incompatible. I will need to look into seeing if there is a different error for these two circumstances.
Known Bugs
- When downloading a file it might just stop downloading, I believe this happens when a large file is downloaded and the site doesn't have it cached so the connection gets timed out after a while. I am still looking into this issue.
Examples
# downloads all users and posts from "kemono.txt" to "C:\Users\User\Downloads" while skipping saved posts in "archive.txt"
python kemono-dl.py --cookies "cookie.txt" -o "C:\Users\User\Downloads" --archive "archive.txt" --fromfile "kemono.txt"
# only downloads user posts that were published on 1/1/21
python kemono-dl.py --cookies "cookie.txt" --date 20210101 --links https://kemono.party/SERVICE/user/USERID
# goes through all favorite users and posts only downloading files smaller than 100MB
python kemono-dl.py --cookies "cookie.txt" --favorite-users --favorite-posts --max-filesize 100MB
# downloads a post and user while ignoring downloading errors
python kemono-dl.py --cookies "cookie.txt" -i -l https://kemono.party/SERVICE/user/USERID/post/POSTID,https://kemono.party/SERVICE/user/USERID

To do
- Allow file naming structure to be changed in command line
- Allow file path structure to be changed in command line
- Add Discord service (in progress)
Keep in mind
- Using this might get you IP banned from kemono party.
- This is highly unlikely now that I switched to using their API!
- If the site changes the script might break.
- This is also now highly unlikely now that I switched to using their API!
