DownAlbum no longer downloads Pinterest boards

Question

DownAlbum no longer downloads Pinterest boards

codewizard13 opened this issue 6 years ago · 35 comments

In 2016 I discovered DownAlbum and used it extensively for batch download full, high-quality Pinterest albums. I even posted about how great the software was on Quora.

Unfortunately, it appears that the Chrome extension stopped working very recently. In fact, there are several comments from around a month ago (January 19, 2019) stating that DownAlbum no longer works. I believe the majority of users were using it for Facebook and Instagram, but my main focus is Pinterest.

So, I'm just wondering what changed. Did the extension break because Pinterest changed their site software? If so, why doesn't the Chrome extension work anymore?

This was a valued extension. Have you given up on continuing to develop DownAlbum?

@Carolinewk Could you send the board link for me to test?

Answer 21 · 2019-12-22T11:03:35.000Z

Well, it's with all boards I try. I tried to clean the caches and appears the numbers now (of images being processed) but it's stuck like: 20/2103 (being the last one the number of images in the board). But the first number is the number of loaded images in MY FEED (the images it's not at all related with the board im trying to download). It's not the 20 images processed in the board I'm trying to download. Em dom, 22 de dez de 2019 04:05, inDream <notifications@github.com> escreveu:

Now I have the opposite problem. The number of items just keeps climbing it does not matter how many items on my pinterest board the items keep going. Example I have 310 pins and I finally stopped Downalbum at 600+. And it had selected any old rubbish from my Pinterest feed.
