Feature Suggest: Use .txt, .csv or .json file for bulk download

[aryomuzakki]

Great projects, thanks.

Would be better if we can have .txt, .csv and .json as a source for bulk download with cli or api.
And ask for column header if more than 1 column/key is detected in .csv / .json.
Or maybe just stick with something like urls or links.

And ask for column header if more than 1 column/key is detected in .csv / .json.

I don't get it about that part ☝🏻 What column header?

In my mind, the .csv or .json file for bulk download should contain URLs (and the image options) like this:

Using JSON file

[
  "https://example.com/me/avatar.jpg",
  "https://example.com/me/old-avatar.jpg",
  "https://example.com/johndoe/avatar.jpg",
  "https://example.com/janedoe/avatar.jpg"
]

With image options:

[
  {
    "url": "https://example.com/me/avatar.jpg",
    "directory": "myimages",
    "name": "myavatar",
    "extension": "png"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://example.com/me/old-avatar.jpg",
    "name": "oldavatar"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://example.com/johndoe/avatar.jpg",
    "directory": "friends",
    "name": "johndoe"
  },
  {
    "url": "https://example.com/janedoe/avatar.jpg",
    "directory": "friends",
    "name": "janedoe",
    "extension": "webp"
  }
]

The command:

$ imgdl /path/to/file.json

Using CSV or TXT file

https://example.com/me/avatar.jpg
https://example.com/me/old-avatar.jpg
https://example.com/johndoe/avatar.jpg
https://example.com/janedoe/avatar.jpg

With image options:

url,directory,name,extension
"https://example.com/me/avatar.jpg","myimages","myavatar","png"
"https://example.com/me/old-avatar.jpg",,"oldavatar"
"https://example.com/johndoe/avatar.jpg","friends","johndoe",
"https://example.com/janedoe/avatar.jpg","friends","janedoe","webp"

The command:

$ imgdl /path/to/file.csv
$ imgdl /path/to/file.txt

So, what do you mean with "more than 1 column/key"? Can you provide some example so everyone can understand it.

[aryomuzakki]

sorry, my bad, I forgot that there are already options like that.

let's just forget that I said that 😁. I don't even remember how i come up with that 😅

[fityannugroho]

That's not what I meant. It is true that the download via file feature DOES NOT currently exist. My question above was meant to confirm what the need is. That's why I gave a usage example as above. Now the question is, does that example match what you want?

[aryomuzakki]

Right, I cause a misunderstanding again.

Anyway, your example is absolutely match what I want.
