ngphotodownloader's Issues

Download link changed again

Hi, the download link has changed again. You can now get with the following code. (Apologies for the horrible ' escaping.

img="$(curl http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/ -s | grep -oP '(?<='\''aemLeadImage'\'': '\'')[^'\'']*')"

N.B. the image file's url is now unnamed, so you'll have to specifically save it to a filename, rather than just bare wget.

Doesn't download images

I think the webpage has probably changed since this script was written. It currently doesn't work, since there is no download_link in the scraped page. If you replace the curl line with the following, it works.

img="http:$(curl http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/ | awk 'found && /<\/div>/ {exit}; found ;/class="primary_photo"/ {found=1}' | grep -oP '(?<=img src=")[^"]*(?=")')"

"No Wallpaper today"

As of yesterday (or maybe the day before) it reports "No Wallpaper today". Not sure where the origin of the problem lies.
