Simple Images Downloader

This gem allows you download images from either source file with list of urls or plain url. The urls must be non redirectable. For now the feature is unsupported. The gem uses OpenURI class under the hood and is able to download as small files less than 10KB as large files, for example 100MB.

Defaults formats to validate against: image/avif, image/gif, image/apng, image/jpg, image/jpeg, image/png, image/svg+xml, image/webp

• Ruby >= 2.7.1

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple-images-downloader'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simple-images-downloader

The gem is provided with executable.

You can either run plain command with file containing list of url:

simple-images-downloader <path_to_file>

Or you can load gem and use public API:

• SimpleImagesDownloader.from_file - allows download images from file containing urls

[1] pry(main)> require 'simple_images_downloader'

[2] pry(main)> path = File.expand_path("./urls.txt")

[3] pry(main)> SimpleImagesDownloader.from_file(path)

By default the images stored in a directory the script is run. You can also configure the place where the images would be stored to:

[1] pry(main)> require 'simple_images_downloader'

[2] pry(main)> SimpleImagesDownloader::Configuration.configure do  |config|
[2] pry(main)*   config.destination = "./tmp/"
[2] pry(main)* end

By default the gem downloads only images with mime types: image/avif, image/gif, image/apng, image/jpg, image/jpeg, image/png, image/svg+xml, image/webp. You can also configure the mime types to download images with:

[1] pry(main)> require 'simple_images_downloader'

[2] pry(main)> SimpleImagesDownloader::Configuration.configure do  |config|
[2] pry(main)*   # You must use RFC 1341 - MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format
[2] pry(main)*   config.valid_mime_types = %w(image/png image/jpg image/jpeg)
[2] pry(main)* end
