Primary LanguageJavaScript

Yande.re image scraper

⛔ | Prerequisites

  • Node.js 16+ and npm ofc
  • If you're on Windows you will need to download wget - latest version
    • You will need to place the wget.exe in C:\Windows\System32

🏃‍♂ | Installing and running the bot

Instructions

  • Open a terminal instance in the script's working directory
  • run npm i or npm install to install the node dependency the bot needs to work
  • run the bot using node yande.re.js <category> <--explicit? #ofPages>
    • example: node .\yande.re.js wet --explicit 10

Important Notes:

  • Each page will contain about 40 images
  • If you don't set the explicit tag then you will only download images which are considered "Safe" or "Questionable".
    • And the contents may vary between 200 and 900 images.
  • Leaving the #ofPages blank for the --explicit tag will have the bot download as many images as the category has
    • Which can vary between 1 - 200k images :)
  • The bot WILL use AS MUCH CPU AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. So make sure you close any program that you care about or are working on before running it.
