Batch download by ID's?

Is there any way to batch download images by list of ID's that I have. I was working with Danbooru database to create a list of images with parents and child compared by different tags, and after Ive done it, I just can't batch download two packs of ID's. I ve'been trying DanbooruDownloader and some others programs, but they don't have exact option. Is there any way to do it? Or only way is to crate a huge artifical xml file for DanbooruDownloader with inserted ID's, isn't it? It seems wrong and not sure if I would make it right.

If you can download all posts returned by a tag search, you can search for something like id:2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97. See help:cheatsheet. No idea what the upper limit of IDs per search is.

Can’t recommend another downloader for you, though. Whenever I need to download stuff for recurring tasks, I just write shell scripts for that and use xmlstarlet and curl.

It's somewhere over 500, which isn't a server limitation but an HTTP limitation, as the URL will then be too long and will error out.

Thanks! It helped a lot!

If you're doing a lot of analysis and downloading, it might make sense at some point to use the Danbooru2018 archive so you can work with it all locally and use arbitrary tools: https://www.gwern.net/Danbooru2018 https://danbooru.donmai.us/forum_topics/15864
