Album Pull

Download an entire imgur album simply.

Introduction

I had a significant amount of annoyance when I was unable to download imgur albums the way I wanted to. So I decided to create a utility that allows me to download imgur albums easily.

Code Samples

The way that I download the photos is a little interesting. I pipe the response from the request module into the fs module and write that to the directory.

function download(link, filename, dir) {
      request(link).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(dir + "/" + filename));
}

Installation

First grab the repository or npm package.

git clone https://github.com/nicolsek/Album-Pull

Then install the requirement for node.

npm install

Album Pull is now ready to use!

Usage

The structure to download an album looks like this.

node ./ <imgur_link> <optional_custom_path>
