Freepik Premium Downloader

Just an automation script that serves a simple API to download assets from freepik.com. You still need a premium account to setup this script.

I made this script because my organization has a premium freepik account. It has limit of 100 downloads per day, but also with a limit of 3 devices. I want to maximize the usage of this premium account. So I made this script. Everyone can use the API to download assets from freepik.com.

Thanks to INFINITE UNY.

How it works

The downloader uses headless puppeteer to open the assets URL given. It will automatically click the download button and save the assets locally. I don't know how to detect completed download, so I just read the directory. If there is a matching file, then it will be sent to the user.

Currently, it only uses 1 browser tab open, so I think it can't be uses to download multiple files at the same time.

Project Structure

Before Setup

You need a cookie from a premium freepik account.

Setup

Clone this repository and run npm install
Build the project npm run build
Run the API npm run api. It will serve an API in http://localhost:3000. You can change it in src/api.ts.
Send your cookie. Then restart the API.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"cookie": "Your cookie here"}' \
    http://localhost:3000/set-cookie

Start download a premium asset by this URL. http://localhost:3000/download?url=FREEPIK_URL. example http://localhost:3000/download?url=https://www.freepik.com/premium-vector/continuous-one-line-drawing-thank-you-text_11439558.htm#query=thankyou&position=6&from_view=search&track=sph.

Queue & Webhook

Queue feature now supported. You can send a download request and wait for the download to complete and sent through your webhook url.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"download_url": "FREEPIK ASSET URL", "webhook_url": "YOUR WEBHOOK URL"}' \
    http://localhost:3000/v2/queue

It will returns a unique id to save.

{
    "webhook_url": "YOUR WEBHOOK URL",
    "download_url": "FREEPIK ASSET URL",
    "status": "queued",
    "id": "63e75fd1e8e5b664aaa7daf2"
}

After the download is completed, you will get notification through your webhook url.

{
    "status": "completed", // status can be failed, completed, or token expired
    "id": "63e75fd1e8e5b664aaa7daf2",
    "download_url": "FREEPIK ASSET URL",
    "size": "20391231",
    "filename": "premium-asset.jpg",
    "thumbnail": "THUMBNAIL URL",
    "count": 4, // download limit usage
}

Download the completed queue by the url /v2/queue/download?id=63e75fd1e8e5b664aaa7daf2
