Error: Read Timed Out when trying to download large imgur album
just installed ripme a couple minutes to download a big imgur album and its not working. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome!
@9yorgos Trying to view the album just gives me a "Imgur is over capacity!" error, so at least on my end imgur is down.
Try http://isup.me to find out what a site looks like from another server.
Imgur does seem to have problems with albums that are approx 1000 images and larger. How large is this album? You end up getting an over capacity page for albums that large, even when navigating manually, if you've had a fair amount of imgur traffic already. Not sure what their algorithm is for this. Ripme gets best results if imgur albums are not larger than a few hundred images.
Seems to be a problem on imgur's end, so at the moment, it seems it's not possible. Nothing we can do on ripme's side. Is it possible to log in to imgur and view it? We might need to use some sort of log in via ripme mechanism to enable ripping giant albums.
You could get the list of URLs while logged in by using imgur's rest API endpoint for album metadata, and then use ripme's new feature: Rip a list of URLs from a file from the command line with the -f flag. (#344 by @JoshKastang)
Unfortunately, Ripme still lacks the ability to rip single images, but that's coming soon.
Also apparently the Imgur API has changed. Now requires OAuth 2. I haven't gone through the process of setting it up but here are some resources: https://api.imgur.com/ https://api.imgur.com/oauth2 https://api.imgur.com/endpoints/album
So you might be looking into making a request for this: https://api.imgur.com/3/album/7zL7T/images
But you'll need to set up authentication or you'll get a 401.
im confused haha. so what should i do if i want to rip the entire album? what steps should i take.
Use the API to get the file list, put all the files into a text file (one file per line, no extra characters), and run ripme from the command line like java -jar ripme.jar -f file.txt.
