vk_album_downloader

Python script to download list of albums (including albums from private communities) from vk.com. Implemented with VK API

Installation

In order to use this script you need to install Python 3.

You also need additional vk_api module. Write next command to your command line / terminal after you have installed Python 3

$ pip install vk_api

Usage

This script allows you to download:

• Albums from user's profile
• Albums from communities, including private communities

NOTE: script yet can not download any special albums such as 'Saved images', 'Profile images', 'Images from wall'

You have to create following files to gather input information:

• data.txt. (Because of the vk.com privacy policy script needs to perform authentication before interacting with VK API. So put your login / phone number and password into this file)
• albums_list.txt (Just put list of url to the albums that you want do download)

Script will automatically create directory vk_downloaded_albums to save albums to in the directory where the script is located

NOTE: all the file / directory names and paths can be modified in the script. There is also no need to put them in the directory with the script
