Programmer
I have taken a look at it in the past and it is extremely bare bones and does not have translation support, which is a major feature of this project
Also I’ve noticed that with bulk projects like gallery-dl that support a massive number of websites, the websites can often be neglected simply because there’s too many to manage
DeepL is a paid API unfortunately.
You do have a point. I’ll look into this.
Hello,
I had this same thought, and as I’ve stated in the original post, when this goes public the creators are more then welcome to shoot me a message on GitHub and I’d happily remove it.
This project however keeps HTTP requests to a minimum and isn’t very different from a normal user browsing the website. The only real load cost is on their CDN server which is probably designed for high traffic environments.
Out of respect for the developers, I can also modify the user agent of the HTTP requests so they could filter them based specifically on this application if that’s an approach they’d be okay with.
From a programming standpoint kemono is a bit harder to pull off because they use a lot of archivers and have more foreign creators as the most popular results
However yes, it’s a relatively simple program from a programming standpoint, however I tried to make the GUIs as QoL as possible with multithreading and a file downloading lib that allows fast and efficient multipart downloading which circumvents a lot of RAM requirements if the entire download is stored into RAM (such is the case with the C# REST library)
Another benefit of kemono is that it isn’t STRICTLY for pornographic content and has a variety of patreon files which my scraper also supports. Currently only discord is unsupported at the moment solely because parsing the HTML is extremely annoying as they basically piggybacked the actual discord service’s URL scheme
Kemono.su is a public archiver for patreon and numerous other sites, essentially allowing you to get this content for free.
Coomer.su is the same thing except for onlyfans & fansly.
This tool allows you to download content in bulk from the respective sites.
