Hm, I couldn't find the list of supported sites. Is Pinterest covered? Or does anyone know of similar working tools that would work for Pinterest? As a means of "backup" and/or sync with Pinry.

#22Cool project. Why download from Facebook isn't supported yet? Does FB use any protection for his content?

They do. You can easily get all your photos, chats, etc using that feature. https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/181231772500920?help...
ah, but i want a tarball of every photo/photogallery that i have liked . This seems to just be what I’ve ever posted.
not sure if this is sarcasm, but photos you liked aren't yours so this would be violating their privacy rules.

#25Not to take anything from how great it is to have something like this, some of the supported sites have heavy rate limiting and bot detection and using this with your account can easily get you banned. For example, I had immense difficulty parsing my own saved posts from instagram (used a one-off script that runs in the browser).
I wonder if there are any Instagram clients that are offline-first; save a copy of your posts locally before sending them to Instagram's servers.
The official Instagram client does this, at least for iOS - all of your posts get put in the "Instagram" Photos album.

I'm perfectly serious; i want to download a bunch of stupid memes that my account has liked and saved into various groups in my account over the years. They're public photos that shitpost accounts have posted.

#28Does anyone know of a downloader that works for private Facebook Groups? I'm a member of some local history groups and the material posted is amazing. I'd like to refer to it in the future, likely long after the posters are gone. I can't rely on Facebook being around then. Copying and pasting into a personal archive is slow when you want to capture everything (posts and comments) since you don't know which history yo…
Mind if I reach out to you via your contact info? I can get this into the Internet Archive.

#29I would like to find the same thing for online ebook/textbook readers that University websites use. Suggestions?
Every online reader I've used ProQuest, VLE, BCR, etc offer the worst online readers with frames, annoying 15 minute timeouts, terrible highlighting/notes, etc
I just want to print or download a local copy to highlight & full text search offline (I run them through OCR for text)

#30One obvious issue with both these downloaders is lack of proper modularization. Which greatly hinders adoption, I believe. I would expect some kind of plugin system. Naturally, there are attempts to fix that: https://github.com/un-def/dl-plus is one example. As a bonus that would help greatly with recent youtube-dl sort of situations and RIAA would have barely made a splash.
Plenty of other features immediately come to mind as well: universal media support, proper parallelism, GUI, desktop integrations, proxies support, anti-captcha... The punchline is: all of this and much more you could find in jdownloader 10 years ago. But somehow youtube-dl won that race. How did that happen?
