Command line tool for e621.net, written in Rust.

• Regular tag searching, using any of the search options from the website.
• Pool bulk downloading.
• Post downloading.
• Parents/children posts fetching.
• Posts/pools bulk downloading.
• Unlimited result count (automatically splits into multiple API requests).
• Reverse image searching (experimental).
• Various output modes:
  • "verbose" (artist, id, tags, description...).
  • "raw" (posts are downloaded to the standard output).
  • "id" (post IDs are printed to the standard output).

Note: there can be up to 6 tags at once. Trying to search for more will cause a 422 "Unprocessable entity" HTTP error. This is an API limitation.

get621 asriel_dreemurr order:score

get621 asriel_dreemurr order:score --limit 5

Note: --limit can be replaced with -l.

get621 asriel_dreemurr order:score -- -solo -chicken

Note: Since the syntax to blacklist a tag uses a dash, it must be placed after two dashes -- to make the difference between a blacklisted tag and a command option/flag (such as -l or --limit). As a result, anything after -- will be treated as a tag for the request.

This will download posts to the current working directory as <id>.<ext>.

This will overwrite any file with the same name in the current working directory, without any warning.

get621 --save asriel_dreemurr order:score

get621 --save asriel_dreemurr order:score --limit 10

Note: --save can be replaced with -s.

This will download posts to the current working directory as <pool_id>-<page>_<post_id>.<ext>.

This will overwrite any file with the same name in the current working directory, without any warning.

get621 --pool <pool_id> --save

Note: --pool can be replaced with -P.

get621 reverse path/to/image1.png /another/image2.gif ./glob/**/pattern/*.jpg

Note: -s or --save can be used to download posts to the current working directory.

1. Install rust if you don't have it already.

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nasso/get621.git
   cd get621

3. Use Cargo to build get621:

   • For debug builds:

     cargo build

   • For release builds:

     cargo build --release

Note: Linux users will probably need to have OpenSSL installed with the development packages to compile the openssl-sys crate (e.g. libssl-dev on Ubuntu and openssl-devel on Fedora). pkg-config is also required when targeting Linux.
