Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD: mono (earliest tested version is 5.10). If "mono-complete" package is available for your OS, install it.
v.1.7:
Changed the _thumb rename rule. Added -imgnum parameter.
v.1.6:
Added support for downloading custom background images.
v.1.5:
Added command line parameters for easier use of fantiaimgs in batch/shell scripts and for a more precise behavior control (most notably in renaming output files).
Argument | Description |
---|---|
-h, -help | Prints supported command line arguments and exits. |
-club 123 | Digital ID of the fanclub to dump. For example, "11791" for https://fantia.jp/fanclubs/11791. If not specified, user will be prompted to enter it manually. |
-name ABC | Specifies the name of the folder to dump data into. To avoid issues prefer to use short ASCII filenames. If not specified, user will be prompted unless "-club" argument is also present, in which case club ID will also be used as a folder name. |
-cookiefile FILE | Tells fantiaimgs to look for a _session_id cookie value in the specified FILE. May be an absolute path or relative to the current working directory. If not specified, "_session_id.txt" file is assumed. If specified file does not exist, user will be prompted to enter that cookie value. |
-subp | Prepends an index of subpost within a post to the filenames. Helpful to avoid most naming conflicts when used together with "-nh". |
-imgnum | Prepends an index of an image within a post to the filenames. When used together with "-subp", subpost index goes first. |
-nh | Removes a small hashsum in the beginning of filenames, i.e 1234abcd_File.png -> File.png Note that it may cause name conflicts, especially when used without "-subp". In this case, a "+" character will be prepended to the newer conflicting name. |
-keepthumbnames | By default fantiaimgs will rename post thumbnail pictures to "_thumb" starting with v.1.5Changed in 1.7. If this is not a desired behavior, use this switch. In versions prior to 1.7, this feature used a filename template on all pictures in post, which could misinterpret non-thumb pictures as such. |
-nometa | If specified, header image, fanclub icon and the custom background image will not be downloaded. |
When not specified otherwise explicitly, arguments listed above are applicable to the latest stable version.
Is this a free software? |
Yes. You can find the source code on Github. |
Will this tool let me download paid content for free? |
No. That's why you need a valid cookie to use it. For example, if you provide a cookie given out to guests, you'll only be able to download content visible to guests. Note that most fanclubs make a lot more content available to a 0 yen level subscriber than to an unregistered user, so having an account is worth it even if you don't intend to pay anyone. |
How can I suggest a feature or report a bug? |
One option is to DM oxi98144#5772 on Discord, another one is to post an issue on the Github page |
