Important<\/strong>: new version released along with new PB design. Read more about it here: http:\/\/9v.lt\/blog\/photobucket-ripper-update\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\nFirst I wrote about a method to grab someone else’s pictures from photobucket<\/a> and I provided a script to do so, even though the method was working, the script was rather primitive and not automated at all… well it was OK for my one time use. But now when I have more stuff to grab and I have to update the album constantly, it is not very nice as I have to do it all over again.
\nSo I decided I’ll make a better, fully automated script and here it is.
\n
\nTo use the script you will need to install a “mechanize<\/a>” library for Python (and of course python itself, lol), but don’t worry, I provided everything.
\nAs a developer I like to keep things simple and with this script, ripping those pictures is really simple.
\nIf the file already exists, it will skip it.<\/p>\n

The script with required libraries can be downloaded here: PhotobucketGetter.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the usage is very simple. Run it with a -h parameter to see the help.<\/p>\n

\r\n$ python PhotobucketGetter.py -h\r\nusage: PhotobucketGetter.py [-h] -u  [-p] [-f] [-d] [-n] [-t]\r\n\r\nScript to grab and save pics from a photobucket album automatically\r\n\r\noptional arguments:\r\n  -h, --help       show this help message and exit\r\n  -u , --url       Album URL\r\n  -p , --passwd    Album password (if any)\r\n  -f , --filter    What to download (pic\/vid\/all)\r\n  -d , --dir       Where to download (folder name)\r\n  -n, --nofolder   If this is used, then downloaded files will not be put in\r\n                   separate folders\r\n  -t, --terminate  If to terminate on error or continue grabbing\r\n<\/pre>\n
So, if the album you want to rip doesn’t have a password, just input<\/p>\n
PhotobucketGetter.py -u URL<\/pre>\n
if album has a password, add additional “-p mypasswd” parameter.<\/p>\n
Other options are optional, add “-f pic” to download pictures, “-f vid” to download just videos, or “-f all” or don’t add it at all, to download everything.
\n“-d” parameter is to specify how to name the folder where everything will be put – default is “PhotobucketGetter”.<\/p>\n
Now the script itself is a bit complicated, but easy to understand (if that makes sense :P)<\/p>\n
\r\n'''\r\nScript to grab pics from a photobucket album automatically\r\nand save them locally. Provide password if the album is protected\r\nand the album URL.\r\n======\r\nIf you really like this script, then consider a small donation for\r\nmy sleepless efforts keeping this script working and up-to-date.\r\nGo to my website: http:\/\/9v.lt and press a Donate button on the right :)\r\n======\r\nAuthor: Kulverstukas\r\nWebsite: http:\/\/9v.lt\r\nShouts to Evilzone.org and Programisiai.lt\r\n \r\nVersion: 0.5\r\n \r\n
