ComfyUI Node: LLM Polymath Scraper for various sites

LLM Polymath Scraper for various sites:

The polymath_scraper node, also known as the "LLM Polymath Scraper for various sites," is designed to facilitate the automated downloading of media content from a variety of online sources. This node is particularly beneficial for AI artists and content creators who need to gather large volumes of images or other media types efficiently. By leveraging the capabilities of the gallery-dl tool, the polymath_scraper can handle multiple URLs, downloading content directly to a specified directory. It offers flexibility in terms of download destinations and can manage download limits to prevent excessive data usage. The node's primary goal is to streamline the process of media acquisition, making it easier for users to collect resources for their creative projects without manually navigating and downloading from each site.

LLM Polymath Scraper for various sites Input Parameters:

urls

The urls parameter is a string containing one or more URLs from which media content will be downloaded. Each URL should be separated by a newline character. This parameter is crucial as it directs the node to the specific online locations where the desired media is hosted. There are no explicit minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but the effectiveness of the node depends on the validity and accessibility of the provided URLs.

output_file_path

The output_file_path parameter specifies the directory where the downloaded media files will be saved. If this parameter is not provided, the node defaults to saving files in a directory named scraped_by_polymath within the output folder. This parameter allows users to organize their downloads in a preferred location, enhancing file management and accessibility.

file_name

The file_name parameter is used to define a specific name for the downloaded files. If both output_file_path and file_name are provided, the node creates a temporary folder for downloads. This parameter is optional and primarily serves to help users maintain a consistent naming convention for their downloaded media.

image_load_cap

The image_load_cap parameter sets a limit on the number of images to be downloaded. This is particularly useful for users who wish to control data usage or avoid downloading excessive amounts of media. The default value is 0, which implies no limit, but users can specify a positive integer to restrict the number of downloads.

preview_images

The preview_images parameter is a boolean that determines whether the downloaded images should be previewed after the download process. This feature is helpful for users who want to quickly verify the content without manually opening each file. The default value is False, meaning previews are not shown unless explicitly enabled.

keep_temp_path

The keep_temp_path parameter is a boolean that indicates whether the temporary download folder should be retained after the download process is complete. By default, this is set to False, meaning the temporary folder is deleted to save space. Users can set this to True if they wish to keep the temporary files for further inspection or use.

LLM Polymath Scraper for various sites Output Parameters:

downloaded_files

The downloaded_files parameter is a list of file paths pointing to the media files that have been successfully downloaded. This output is essential for users to access and utilize the downloaded content in their projects. It provides a clear and organized reference to all the media acquired during the scraping process.
