======================= Python script that lets you search for urls of images from google images using your tags and/or download them automatically onto you computer
Download simple-image-download.py from my github and use it in your project Use command pip install simple_image_download
Note on Windows for python-magic 0.4.18 which is used for this Project
You'll need DLLs for libmagic Here the includes binaries to PyPI.
pip install python-magic-bin==0.4.14
If you are using a 64-bit build of python, you'll need 64-bit libmagic binaries which can be found here: https://github.com/pidydx/libmagicwin64. Drop the dlls in C:\Windows\System32 and python magic will import correctly. -- Newer version can be found here: https://github.com/nscaife/file-windows.
The main class is Download import it in your project as so:
from simple_image_download import Downloader simp
Then create a new class instance
response = simp.simple_image_download()
Next you can use response to activate methods:
response.download(keywords, [limit])
from simple_image_download import Downloader simp
response = simp.simple_image_download()
response.download(‘bear supermario’, limit=5)
from simple_image_download import Downloader simp
response = simp.simple_image_download()
response.search_urls(‘bear supermario’, limit=15)
for url in response.cache:
print(url)
Parameters:
- extension -- Type of extension allowed to be downloaded, if left None defaults are: {‘.jpg’, ‘.png’, ‘.ico’, ‘.gif’, ‘.jpeg’}
This functions returns and Caches URLs of Pictures based on:
- Keywords for the search
- File Extensions based on the class instance you define
- How many picture per keyword you need with the limit parameter
-
verbose => Output the links in the terminal in real time
-
cache => if set to False, the URLs won’t be stored in the class instance, default is True
-
timer => Default is set to 100_000 Looks up, defines the number of WebPages's 'chunks' will search. In the function scan_webpage a 100_000 lookkup means that it will loop up to 100_000 before stop.
Usefule in case of a picture that is not been found, so won't allow to loop indefinitely.
This functions downloads pictures into defined class instance’s directory:
- Keywords for the search
- File Extensions based on the class instance you define
- How many picture per keyword you need with the limit parameter
- The directory is named after the Keyword.
- Pictures have a unique ID, so that multiple downloads can persome
-
verbose => Output the links in the terminal in real time
-
cache => if set to False, the URLs won’t be stored in the class instance, default is True
-
download_cache => allows to download all the URLs stored in the Downloader's instance Cache. Remember to clear the cache afterwards with Downloader.flush_cache
-
timer => Default is set to 100_000 Looks up, defines the number of WebPages's 'chunks' will search. In the function scan_webpage a 100_000 lookkup means that it will loop up to 100_000 before stop.
Usefule in case of a picture that is not been found, so won't allow to loop indefinitely.
Clears the class instance’s cache which is stored in instance.cached_urls
The directory where the Picture are saved, default is in ‘simple_images/’. You can set the default directory like this:
my_downloader = simp.simple_image_download()
my_downloader.directory = ‘my_dir/bla/’
Set of all sub Direcotories where the picture where saved .
All of the cached urls perfomed with the seach of the function Downloader.get_urls()
Is a Dictionary with this schema:
{'file_name': [Dir_path, URL_content]}
User Downloader.flash_cache() to clear it or run mydownloader.download(download_cache=True) to download the whole content.
Example are on my [github](https://github.com/Koubae/simple_image_download/tree/master/Example)
If you have any ideas, try pull request or write to me so i will try to add new things in free time. I know my code is pretty basic but i just started working with python and i needed that class for urls and images to pass my semester so i did only what i needed.
I hope that we will make this class more usefull together, i will try to post updates with yours and mine ideas
Ps. Thx to CharlesMogan for adding so many fixes and new features.
