Searching for pixiv tags and saving illustrations using Python

Introduction

I wanted to see a lot of pixiv illustrations from Python. There seems to be little Japanese information on pixivpy, so I will leave it as a memo.

environment

Windows10 Python 3.8 pixivpy 3.5.8 ： https://github.com/upbit/pixivpy

Preparation

Prepare pixivpy From the command prompt

pip install pixivpy

Run

code

tagsearch_pixivpy.py

from pixivpy3 import PixivAPI
from pixivpy3 import AppPixivAPI

import json
import os
from time import sleep

def login(id, password):
    api = PixivAPI()
    api.login(id, password)
    return api

def search_and_save(apilogin, searchtag, min_score, range_num, directory):
    api = apilogin
    aapi = AppPixivAPI()

    saving_dir_path = os.path.join(directory, searchtag)
    if not os.path.exists(saving_dir_path):
        os.mkdir(saving_dir_path)

    for page in range(1, range_num + 1):
        json_result = api.search_works(searchtag, page=page, mode='tag')
        illust_len = len(json_result.response)

        for i in range(0, illust_len):
            illust = json_result.response[i]
            score = illust.stats.score

            if score <= min_score:
                continue
            else:
                print("Cartoon:" + str(illust.page_count) + "page") if illust.is_manga else print("An illustration")
                if illust.is_manga:
                    print(">>> title:", illust.title)
                    manga_info = api.works(illust.id)
                    for page_no in range(0, manga_info.response[0].page_count):
                        page_info = manga_info.response[0].metadata.pages[page_no]
                        aapi.download(page_info.image_urls.large, path=saving_dir_path)
                        sleep(1)
                else:
                    print(">>> title:", illust.title)
                    aapi.download(illust.image_urls.large, path=saving_dir_path)
                    sleep(1)

def main():
    searchtag = "Search tag"  #Search tagを入力。半角スペースで分けることで複数タグ検索可能
    min_score = 2000    #DL only for illustrations above this score
    range_num = 1   #Search up to the page with this value. 30 sheets per 1p
    directory = 'Destination directory'  #Create a folder with the search tag name under the specified directory and save it there.

    apilogin  = login("User name", "password") #User nameとpassword入力

    search_and_save(apilogin, searchtag, min_score, range_num, directory)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

You can search as you like by changing the variables below the main function. It also supports posting in manga format (a format in which one title has multiple illustrations).

idea

--I want to save directly to Google Drive --Pick up the top 20% of the searched illustrations in order of score

-Collect an infinite number of illustrations from pixiv [python] -I wanted to get an infinite number of illustrations from any illustrator from pixiv -Batch DL of pixiv follower's comics and illustrations

All of them were very helpful in their polite articles.
