Usage

1. Install pixivtools

pip install pixivtools --upgrade

2. Create Configuration Object

There are two ways to set up the configuration, choose according to your preference

1) Create through Constructor

import pixivtools

cfg_maker = pixivtools.pixiv_config_maker()
# Adjust according to your needs
cfg_maker.set_phpsessid("Enter your pixiv PHPSESSID")
cfg_maker.set_proxy("127.0.0.1:7890")
cfg_maker.set_img_dir("./imgs")             # Location to store images
cfg_maker.set_log_file("./out.log")         # Location for log output
cfg_maker.set_sql_url("sqlite:///pixiv.db") # SQLAlchemy format connection URL, can be ignored if not understood
cfg = cfg_maker()

2) Through Configuration File

Create a config.yaml file, see config.yaml.example in the repository for configuration example

Then use cfg = pixivtools.load_pixiv_config("config.yaml")

3. Start Operations

# Pass the cfg object obtained from the previous step
service = pixivtools.new_pixiv_service(cfg)
# Get crawler instance
crawler = service.crawler()
# Examples of different crawling modes
crawler.get_by_artwork_id(98538269)
crawler.get_by_user_id(23279364)
crawler.get_by_pixivision_aid(9374)
crawler.get_by_follow_latest(1)
crawler.get_by_recommend()
crawler.get_by_rank(pixivtools.RankType.MONTHLY, 20250313, 1)
crawler.get_by_request_recommend()
crawler.get_by_user_bookmark(92803629, 1)
crawler.get_by_tag_popular("ホロライブ")
crawler.get_by_similar_artwork(115812789)
crawler.get_by_similar_user(20015785)
crawler.get_by_recommend_user()
crawler.get_by_request_creator()

4. After crawling is complete, images will be saved to the specified path, and the database will record all related metadata for your use
