Unsplash Collection Downloader

A node module to download an Unsplash collection of your choice into a directory of your choice

Installation

npm i -g unsplash-collection-downloader

Authorization

Register an app and get your own keys from Unsplash.

Create .env and add your keys:

ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE
SECRET_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE

Choose a Collection

You can add the collection ID to your .env. This is useful if you have a single collection you always want this package to retrieve:

COLLECTION_ID=YOUR_COLLECTION_ID

Or, you can pass the collection ID with a flag when you run the package. This allows you to download specific collections easily:

$ unsplash-collection-downloader --c=116851

Choose a Directory

Images will be downloaded to the directory you run this package in.

You can override that directory with a flag (do not include a trailing slash):

$ unsplash-collection-downloader --dir="path/dir"

Pagination

This plugin requires paginated requests to run properly with Unsplash's API. The default value is 25. If you run into any issues that require you to reduce the number of images per page, there's a flag for that override too:

$ unsplash-collection-downloader --p=10

Roadmap

• Add tests
• Better error handling
• Flag for specific image size, maybe?
