Derpibooru Archive Scraper

Scrapes images from The Pony Archive that have a specific tag.

Note: this is intended for images which have been deleted. If the images still exist, use Derpibooru Downloader instead.

Setup

This app requires setting up a PostgreSQL database hosting a data dump from Derpibooru. These can be found on the Data Dumps page, along with instructions on how to set it up.

Key notes:

• If on Windows, the commands will likely not be found after installing. This can be fixed by updating the system path to point to the install directory (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin), or calling the command with the full path (in powershell: & "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin\createdb.exe" -U postgres derpibooru). Note the & if on Powershell. That is needed.
• If you don't care, set the root password to password. The program will already use that password to log in. If set to anything else, the connection string must be modified in the code.

Building

The app is built using .NET Core 2.2 with Visual Studio 2019. Earlier versions may work but are not tested.
