The Problem

Opening fuckton of tabs, and download them one by one. Piece of crap
Welp, It's not tough actually if still same website, there is also tampermonkey hacks to mock them, but what if you want to get 'em from multiple websites?

Multiple posts test: workflows/jigoku_posts.yml

Phrases

This pattern used for validating posts or galleries

/posts/ danbooru based, &id= gelbooru based, ?id= gelbooru based, /show yandere based, /post/view/ paheal based

Otherwise, it will assign to pages

For example, If you confused between (1) and (2), check this out:

  • https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5874589
  • https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=7004047
    • This is post, choose (1)
  • https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=1girl&z=1
  • https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=1girl
    • This is pages, choose (2)
  • https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=kiryuuin_satsuki+&z=5
  • https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=kiryuuin_satsuki
    • This is pages from tags, choose (2)
  • https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?page=2&tags=kiryuuin_satsuki+
  • https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=kiryuuin_satsuki&pid=42
    • This is pages from tags with page number, choose (2)
  • https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=hews+&z=5
  • https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=belko
    • This is pages from artist, choose (2)

Limitations

You may notice that some part were strictly to "Original" resolution and "Sample" is no use, I'm pretty sure there are some limitations, for example old posts perhaps has different structures, but I haven't found any yet, current test cases has over 1000+ posts and took 20+ minutes, and it works fine.
