Currently there's few good solutions for backing up deviantarts, as the rest fail to build or fail to interact with the site, or just fail. Currently the best is “deviantart-gallery-downloader” by xofred.
This script will get full-sized images, whereas right-clicking hasn't in the past. It will also check to see if things have already been ripped, and rip any new changes to reduce traffic.
Things needed
- git
- gem (ruby-dev)
- mechanize
- A disposable dA account with adult images turned on (to make sure all images are gotten)
Getting the software and dependencies
sudo apt-get install git ruby-dev
sudo gem update
sudo gem install mechanize
git clone https://github.com/xofred/deviantart-gallery-downloader.git
cd deviantart-gallery-downloader
Usage
To rip an entire main gallery with no organization of the images on an album basis, run:
ruby with_login.rb LOGIN-EMAIL PASSWORD "http://USERID.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/"
That "/?catpath=/" on the end is important because it grabs all the images where as with the default gallery URL it does not.
For an album:
ruby with_login.rb LOGIN-EMAIL PASSWORD http://USERID.deviantart.com/ALBUM_NAME
Caveats
No SSL auth, this could be done with a slight re-jiggering of code and a dependency on some ruby-SSL dep to offload that work.
User creds are in the process name being run. Use with caution on a multi-user system. A simple ps -A will reveal your creds.
- Use a burner account until this script is made a bit more secure*
