Download Street View panoramas, obtain metadata and short panorama URLs from various services

sv-dlp

sv-dlp is a panorama scraper for various street view platforms that can download, obtain metadata and short URLs.

sv-dlp heavily relies on reverse engineered APIs - in the event of one service not working, please submit an issue with the Dead API label and will be solved as soon as possible once I (or a collaborator) sees it.

This project has been made for educational purposes and all content scraped from is owned by their respective authors.

  • Download from .csv/.json files

• Coordinates and short URLs are automatically turned to Panorama IDs

FAQ

Why aren't all my coordinates from .csv downloading?

Depending on how close the given coordinates are, it'll download the same panorama ID no matter the difference. It's recommended to use .json or .csv with panorama IDs instead.

Can X Service be added?

Depending on how accesible it is scraping-wise, yes. Feel free to submit in an issue about the specific service and I'll gladly see what I can do about it. If you're a developer though, refer to the next question.

I'm a developer and I want to add X service or improve the code. Can I?

Sure! You're welcome to submit in a pull request as long as its to improve this program, such as improving performance, fixing a bug, adding a service, etc. For those who want to add a service, check out the documentation for it.
