Hey guys,

If you are looking for an image scraper right now just like I was months ago, you are coming to the right place. So I developed my own scraper to grab images from sources like pinterest, instagram, google images etc., after lurking here for a long time and getting help from tons of different people, I decide to share my tools with you guys.

Well, cannot post any images yet, so you can check screenshots here:
goo.gl/fVDqWn
goo.gl/c55LtY


The software is pretty much self-explanitory, and please report bugs and give advices so that I can make it a better tool, currently it's v1.0.1

Download link:
goo.gl/KmlXAV

VirusTotal:
https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/2...e19e7744463eec9eba09db85d2cc4f9535c/detection

SHA256: d71737994e712610ada50b2f719c5e417477afede8486e08bd860705d02c9ea6
File name: SuperImageHarvester(v1.0.1).exe
Detection ratio: 0 / 55

P.S. Don't be scared of "... is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous" that shows up in some browsers(namely chrome), so basically it "still needs some time to build up a reputation within the Windows community". Don't worry there's no malware, it DOES pass all anti-virus analysis(virustotal, kaspersky, etc.). Well still if you don't trust it, just run it in virtual machines : )

Cheers

Mod Edit: Please download with caution as VT scan is reporting virus detection in 3/67 engines.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Well, the reason of this false alarm showing up is because "the software still needs some time to build up a reputation within the Windows community", even though it has passed all anti-virus analysis(virustotal, kaspersky, etc.)...

Chrome throws up up a malware threat while downloading it.
 
Very handy tool Shane! Specially love the "locate image urls only" feature. But there is no way to save the image urls to a file. "harvest.txt" stays empty.:(
By the way I didn't get any warnings from kaspersky.

Hope you can provide tumblr/google/instagram scraping in the future versions.

A big thank you goes here :)

Will definitely add export feature later on, no worries, just haven't got time to implement it yet : )

There will be tumblr/google/instagram scraping and more in future for sure, so stay tuned : )

Cheers

I made some scrapers with python, nothing fancy, just scripts. Did you make this bot with Visual studio? What classes one uses to scrape with VS beautifulsoup for Python? Specially my scripts run at one thread at a time, without threads or sub processes. So it takes a considerable amount of time to scrape multiple pages on multiple blogs.

Thanks!

Python is great tool for scraping. I would highly recommend requests(link: goo.gl/iBJg3J, sorry still not allowed to outlink yet) for any scraping related tasks, the built-in json parser is very helpful and together with beautifulsoup you can basically scrape/parse any web pages you want.

For multithreaded tasks you can either use threading or multiprocessing module, but I would recommend threading since scraping is not CPU-bound tasks and it's easier to share data(better use Queue) between threads.

Cheers

By the way, what's the requirement for posting images and links here?
 
Will you add weheartit feature too?

Thank you! I am using requests at the moment. The reason why want links is to post images to tumblr via URL. Tumblr has this nice feature which you can use to upload images from web using links. That way I get to save a ton of bandwidth :)
 
I am looking forward to downloading this tonight. Hope that it will come in handy soon.
 
Downloading it............
Thanks for share
 
v1.0.2 is now available: goo.gl/KmlXAV

Fixed: probability of crash due to undestroyed message dialogue
Added: export feature for harvested results
Added: duplicates remove feature for keyword input box

Cheers
 
why i can only check the Pintrest box and not the rest...
 
Hi Folks,

I'm on a mac but love the sound of this program

Would somebody mind posting a few screens?

I love looking at "home brew" software.

Cheers.
