## Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The requirements are the following:
|
||
|
|
* A quite new version of Python 3
|
||
|
|
* lxml
|
||
|
|
* cssselect
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Quick start
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's download all images from a particular article:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ python3 wid_tool.py https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We should be able to find all the images downloaded in the current
|
||
|
|
folder. There is also a url ending filter available. Let's download only
|
||
|
|
the SVG files from the article above:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ python3 wid_tool.py -f svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now only files with their corresponding urls ending with _svg_ should be
|
||
|
|
downloading.
