A single uri image scraper.
scraper <source> <destination>
e.g.
scraper http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/10/china_as_seen_by_elizabeth_dal.html ~/Desktop
-
The images downloaded will be saved to a directory with the name of the source, in a sluggified form. e.g. in the case of the example above, the images will be saved to:
~/Desktop/http-www-boston-com-bigpicture-2009-10-china_as_seen_by_elizabeth_dal-html/ -
Small images (below 20Kb) will be discarded.
-
The images downloaded are saved with their original filenames, with a random-ish number prefix. This is to allow multiple batches to be dumped into a single directory without name clashes, e.g.
18283__pretty_picture.jpg -
