A CLI command to download images from Raindrop Collections.
I am using Raindrop to archive Internet images like Gifs and Memes.
"Permanent Copy" helps to retain images that might be deleted, but there is no simple way to have a structure backup from this data in Raindrop.
Unfortunately the export feature of Raindrop is limited regarding images and uploaded files, so I built this tool to help with the backup process.
This application is built as a single binary so the installation is very easy. Just heads up to the Releases pages and download the latest version for your Operating system.
You can also use Docker (and NixOS support is planned).
Get the collection id of the Raindrop collection you want to download from. You can find it in the url, when accessing Raindrop Web App. Ex: https://app.raindrop.io/my/<collection_id>.
Then run the following command:
raindrop-images-dl download \
-c=<my_collection_id>
-k <raindrop_api_key>
-o <path/to/images/dir>Alternatively, envrionment variables can also be used instead of flags:
RAINDROP_API_KEY=<api_key> RAINDROP_COLLECTION=<collection_id> OUTPUT_DIR=<output> raindrop-images-dl downloadThe command will download the images found in your collection, to the output directory defined with -o option.
A subfolder with the collection name, will be created.
A .info.json file will be placed together with the image file. This file will save some Raindrop metadata like tags.
You can use this for doing some automations.
