wikiartDataGetter

A small utility to download pictures matching a specific style.

I wrote this utility as a part of my bachelor thesis. Please use responsible as this can cause a lot of traffic.

Usage

With default settings this will only download the 'impressionismus' style to yo ur '~/wikiartData'

to modify:

• set the rootFoler variable to your download target folder
• decide what styles you want to download, and set stylesToDownload
• run and wait

Notes

• this does not use multiple threads or even connections
• some files on the server are saved with an incorrect file ending (more info in the comments)
• the download progess will never reach 100%. Dont worry, there is a extra check in place to verify all pictures are downloaded correctly, the % is just for user feedback and implemented poorly
