fotocomedown is a command line tool to download all your photos from fotocommunity.de.

This script scrapes the HTML UI of fotocommunity.de. It is by nature a brittle situation that can break whenever fotocommunity changes the UI. I can try to keep up, but no promises. PRs are always welcome.

My father is a pretty good amateur photographer and has been a member of fotocommunity.de for a long time. He has accumulated a large collection of photos on the site. Unfortunately he has not organized this collection locally on his computer and photos are scattered over many hard disks and directories. fotocommunity.de does not offer the functionality of downloading all of ones photos with one action. One can go to each image and click on the "Original Image" link and then download it, but that is super tedious. So in the spirit of data portability I made this simple script.
