Archival Note

A web crawler is no longer needed for scraping images off of konachan.com or yande.re. You can use their API directly or via a Python wrapper such as Pybooru, which are both more efficient and reliable.

What This Is

It bulk downloads images from Konachan.com and Yande.re with high speed.

KonaDL CLI is a standalone application that uses libkonadl to bulk download images from konachan.com / konachan.net / yande.re. It provides better user interface comparing to libkonadl, but it cannot be used as a library.

libkonadl is a library that helps you bulk downloading images according to ratings (Safe/Questionable/Explicit) from konachan.com / konachan.net / yande.re with multithreading. It can also run as a standalone program that can run directly on any platform that supports python (at least according to the current design).

EULA

By using the "konadl" software ("this software") you agree to this EULA. If you do not agree to the EULA, stop using this software immediately.

• By enabling crawling from Konachan.com you agree to the ToS of Konachan.com.
• By enabling crawling from Yande.re you agree to the ToS of Yande.re.
• You must respect the website requests (ex. stop the software when HTTP 429 is received).
• You need to have the developer's permission before using this software for commercial purposes.
• You must obey the law of the country which you are in.

Just thought it would be fun to have an EULA.
