pixieset-downloader

Python tool that automates the process of downloading images from a Pixieset collection using Selenium.

Overview

Pixieset is a platform commonly used by photographers to share and sell their photos. This script simplifies the retrieval of images from a given Pixieset collection, allowing for the efficient downloading of multiple images at once.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• pipenv
• Firefox

Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install required Python libraries: pipenv install

Usage

1. Activate virtual environment: pipenv shell
2. Rename .env.example to .env and add the proper values for each key.
3. Run the script: pipenv run download

Environment Variables

• PIXIESET_COLLECTION_URL: Replace this with the URL of the Pixieset collection you want to scrape. For example:

PIXIESET_COLLECTION_URL=https://josevilla.pixieset.com/lilyandjonathan/

• DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY: Set this to the local directory where you want the images to be downloaded.

Limitations

The downloaded images might still retain watermarks and potentially be of lower quality compared to the originals – which is good to support your local photographers! It is also not guaranteed that absolutely all images have been downloaded, so this should be verified manually.
