Image downloader from forums

[me2cool]

Wrote a small script to scrape a forum thread for images. Could be useful with a thread like this.
https://github.com/me2cool/forum-image-scraper

Code is bit messy for now...

The following property values should work for this (අත්-වැඩ) thread.....just replace the content in the input.properties file with below content

[UserInput]
# Host Site url, without an ending "/"
hostSite = https://elakiri.com
# Specific thread url. Define the complete thread without the ending "/"
thread = https://elakiri.com/threads/%E0%B6%85%E0%B6%AD%E0%B7%8A-%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%90%E0%B6%A9.1791466
# Pagination handling, the text before the page number
pageAppenderBefore = /page-
# Pagination handling, the text after the page number
pageAppenderAfter = 
# Pagination handling, some forums increment direct urls to pages by mulitiplying page number (e.g. page urls can be 1, 10, 20, 30)
pageValueMultiply = 1
# We will start downloading from this page
startPage = 1
# We will end the download from this page
endPage = 20
# Should we also download FB image links? This takes little bit of extra time as we have to look for the direct image link in the source
shouldDownloadSocialLinks = True
# Ignore images below this size. This is defined in Bytes. 1000 Bytes is 1 KB. Default value here is 10KB.
smallImageSize = 10000

If someone finds this useful....

This is a generic solution works with all forum types with a logical pagination....
