WebPicDownloader is a scraping tool that allows you to download all the images of a website. Basically WebPic is a Python script around which a graphical interface has been added to make it easier to use.
You will find [here](#windows-application) utility information to use the Windows application ``WebPicDownloader.exe``. And [here](#use-python-script) information to use or implement the Python script ``WebPicDownloader.py`` in your application (without the graphical interface).
## Windows application
To use WebPic on windows nothing more simple, download the executable ``.exe`` of the last [release here](https://git.endmove.eu/EndMove/WebPicDownloader/releases) (be careful to download the latest release and not a pre-release).
Execute the file ``WebPicDownloader.exe`` and enjoy it! 👌
## Use Python script
To start, find the script to use or to add to your code [here](model/WebPicDownloader.py).
### Requirements
To use the script check the following prerequisites.
* Python `>= 3.10.6` ;
* bs4 (BeautifulSoup) `>= 0.0.1` ;
### Console Use ?
If you just want to use the console version of the script without the built-in GUI then you just need to check the [prerequisites](#requirements) and run the script as follows:
```python
python3 WebPicDownloader.py
```
### Integration to your code ?
First of all you have to know that WebPic has a deamon worker that downloads all the images asynchronously (this allows you not to block your program when a download is in progress). This same worker will be automatically killed as soon as your program finishes. WebPic therefore provides a blocking stop function allowing you to wait for the end of the download. See the information below.
