Installation

1. Python
2. PIP
   • Windows
     • python -m pip install --upgrade pip
   • macOS
     • curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
     • python get-pip.py
3. Selenium Wire
   • pip install selenium-wire
4. Selenium driver executable
   Get the right driver for your browser (see browser section on the link above) and platform. Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Edge are supported.
   Use option --driver-path to specify the driver's path or add the executable in your PATH.

   • How To Run Test On macOS Using Selenium Safari Driver
5. Exiftool
   The exiftool executable must added in your PATH. For macOS, it is done automatically by putting it into /usr/local/bin. For Windows, you must extend your PATH variable.

Examples

Simple example using Chrome WebDriver:

$ yandex2lightroom Chrome --keywords "vodka, bears, balalaika" --limit 10

Example of using keywords from input file with specific image extension/format:

$ yandex2lightroom Chrome --keywords_from_file input_example.txt --itype=png

All other information can be obtained with the --help argument.

Use case textures for Photoshop

Yandex2Lightroom sets keywords in the images after download. The keywords are the same as you define for the searches itself. To build a useful library for wall textures in Lightroom we need different searches with meaningful keywords. We should place these searches - better: the corresponding Yandex2Lightroom commands - into a batch or shell script file. Thereby, we are able to repeat the download commands to a later point in time again. For Windows y2lr-texture-wall.bat

After the images were downloaded, import them into LR:

• Just add, of course.
• Maybe not use your standard metadata preset.

Please check the keywords. Sometimes LR does not import them all. In Adobe Bridge they are fine, but not in LR. If so, select all images and read in the metadata again.
Also, some images may have no keywords because the exiftool run into a problem. There is a smart collection in LR to look for images without keywords. So at least you have a chance to set keywords manually.
