Limit to 100 images #1

Closed dbedrenko closed 9 years ago

dbedrenko commented 9 years ago

The booru API seems to limit the number of images downloaded to only 100. Did this limit exist before you decided to use the API? Can we bypass this limit?

pipoket commented 9 years ago

Yes, the limit did exist from the very beginning, since when I first knew the existence of API. And AFAIK there is nothing user can control about it, I think it would be impossible for developer to bypass the limit.

Hmm after making this bug report I found 2 other programs, and they seem to download more than 100 images at a time:

I think it's possible if you do the scraping yourself rather than use the API, but it's a lot more work.

As of now(Oct, 2015), API is down, so no other way than scraping data by myself anyway :3 Anyway, closing the issue.
