gallery-dl API Server

This repository contains a simple REST API server for gallery-dl, a command-line program to download image galleries and collections from various websites. The API allows users to download galleries or albums from supported sites using gallery-dl through an API endpoint.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• Docker (optional, for running the application in a container)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JoshuaAFerguson/gallery-dl-api-server.git
cd gallery-dl-api-server

2. Install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Start the REST API server by running the Python script:

python gallery_dl_api.py

The API will be accessible at http://0.0.0.0:5000/download.

2. To use the API, send a POST request to the /download endpoint with the URL of the gallery or album you want to download. Here's an example of how to do this using curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url": "https://example.com/gallery"}' http://0.0.0.0:5000/download

Make sure to replace "https://example.com/gallery" with the actual URL of the gallery or album you want to download.
