osu-beatmap-downloader 0.1.0

Downloads x most favorized beatmapsets into your osu! song directory

Osu! Beatmapset Downloader

Downloads given number of beatmapsets with the most favorites from osu.ppy.sh into the default osu! directory.

Installation

You can install this program via pip:

pip install osu-beatmap-downloader

This will install the program in the global python package folder inside your python installation directory.

You can also install it into your python user directory with:

pip install --user osu-beatmap-downloader

These directories might not be in PATH. If you want to use this program from the command line, you may have to add the correct directories to PATH.

Usage

To start the downloader use:

osu-beatmap-downloader

The program will ask for your osu! username and password because osu.ppy.sh won't let you download beatmaps without being logged in.

The program will then ask you if you want to save your credentials so that you don't have to enter them every time you want to start the program. They will be stored in your home directory in a file called .osu-beatmap-downloader-creds.json in plaintext (yes, that includes your password!). If you want to delete the credential file you can run:

osu-beatmap-downloader --delete-creds

By default the program will download the top 200 beatmaps. You can change the limit with:

osu-beatmap-downloader --limit 500

or

osu-beatmap-downloader -l 500

The programm will limit its rate to 30 files per minute to prevent unnecessary load on osu!s website. Despite this after a specific amount of songs (that I don't know) the website will prevent any further downloads. The program will terminate after 5 failed downloads. In this case you might have to wait for half an hour or even longer before you can download again.
