Info

You can use this tool to mass download images images from imgBB from their urls, I made this because there's no other utility available for this purpose.

Install

in case you don't have node installed you can set it up very easily: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

make sure you initialize an npm repository before continuing via

npm init

download the package via npm by running

npm i @un-index/imgbb-bulk

in the directory you will require it

then install the dependencies via

npm install

Usage

first copy all your links from your imgBB upload page

paste the links in a string and pass them to imgbb-bulk

note: the GIF shows me using similar urls (which happens when the same file is uploaded multiple times) imgBB-bulk does NOT work properly when there are duplicate urls, so remove those before running it                                                                                                             

// require imgbb-bulk
const imgbulk = require("@un-index/imgbb-bulk")

// save images to a folder named imgout, stored in the current directory
// NOTE: if there's any extra spaces at the end of any URL or there is a newline at the end,
// you WILL get an Invalid URL error so get rid of those

imgbulk(`https://ibb.co/Vgvx2Bm
https://ibb.co/Xsb8Lyr
https://ibb.co/VBrnTSQ
https://ibb.co/9Vgr2hP`)

/* example output:
  writing to ./imgout/img1.gif
  done
  writing to ./imgout/img2.gif
  done
  writing to ./imgout/img3.webp
  done
  writing to ./imgout/img4.gif
  done
*/

(optional) specify a separator

// by default the newline character is used as the separator
imgbulk(`https://ibb.co/Vgvx2Bm,https://ibb.co/Xsb8Lyr,https://ibb.co/VBrnTSQ,https://ibb.co/9Vgr2hP`, ",")
