GfycatGrab

Budget way of grabbing all Gfycats from your account.

Requirements

1. jq
2. curl
   • v7.73.0+ since this script uses the --output-dir flag: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/09/10/store-the-curl-output-over-there/

To use the script

1. Visit your Gfycat profile page, with your browser's developer console (network tab) open
2. Filter URLs by /me/gfycats
3. Copy the JSON response from the "GET" request. Save it as any-name.json
4. If you have more than 100 GIFs in your profile, repeat steps 1-3 for the next page (scroll to bottom), and save it as any-name-2.json
5. Run the script: ./GfycatGrab.sh
   • By default the script downloads to ./data (relative to where the script is saved).
   • If you want to download to a different directory, specify the GFYCAT_DIR environment variable: GFYCAT_DIR=/path/to/where/you/want/download/files ./GfycatGrab.sh
