Downloading a specific section from DeviantArt

Post by Fluff546 »

I'm trying to come up with a project which would download all the photos posted in a specific section of deviantart.com, going through multiple pages if needed, but grabbing only the full size photos belonging to that section. For example, http://www.deviantart.com/manga/digital/paintings/

How do I only download only the paintings from this gallery section which is spread across multiple pages, ignoring the small-sized previews, without getting anything else?

Thank you very much Maxim. Is there any way to grab the pictures hidden by default by the mature filter as well? My DA account is set to show all images and I use my username and password to log into DA before starting the job from EPF so all the art in the gallery ought to be accessible, but EPF still doesn't seem to "see" and download those images.

OK, send me your login/password to support@exisoftware.com and I'll try to do it.

You have to login manually to get the cookie set up right on the application. You can also use this to generate links for devart.

Yes, the devart website is working just fine in EPF with manual login. As for URL list generation - we have more advanced tool here:

I found a bug. It seems as though I can't download multiple galleries and use the same manual login. All the pages are downloaded if the manual login is removed, but when enabled, only the first domain name is downloaded. This is a problem if the contents contain erotic material, otherwise the manual login is not necessary.

For instance:

http://007fanatic.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0
http://007fanatic.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24
http://007fanatic.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48
http://victori99.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0
http://victori99.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24

Here, only 007fanatic.deviantart.com is downloaded.

Please use only one domain name per project with this template:

And don't forget to turn on the [Manual login].

I understand. But it's the same website. Is there no other way?
