4chan archive thread image downloader for general use across many foolfuuka based imageboards. Downloads all images individually in a thread with original filenames (by default). Optional thread API button, for development purposes.

Functionality
Script should also work with webm files. Also, sort of a disclaimer, but obviously this script will not download any files from links in a post's content other than the media that is or is not included with the post. Foolfuuka based sites were taken from this list. If you would like a foolfuuka based site that is not in the @match
section of the metadata block, please create a discussion on the script or email me here: [email protected]. Alternatively, you can also add your foolfuuka based site of choice not on the list in the metadata block in the following format *://site.com/*/thread/*
. I made the @match
only https for security reasons, but you can change that to a star (*) for all protocols if you prefer that.
User Preferences
User preferences can be altered by changing the boolean values of lines lines 22 to 37.
- API button can be enabled by editing the code in the user preferences section by setting
var api_button_enabled
to true
. - Original filenames from images in this section as well by changing
var keep_original_filenames
var confirm_download
is true
by default; disabling it will make it only require one click to download all the images in a thread, recommended only if confirming downloads errors such as being stuck on "processing".- Download limit (or delay rather) can be enabled and changed with
var download_limit
. The default is 3000 milliseconds in delay from one download to the next to prevent overwhelming downloads. Setting this to 0 will mean effectively no delay in downloading. - Whether or not you wish to download ONLY images from users who are NOT anonymous (named posters) can be changed by setting this
var named_poster_media_download_only
to true (and false otherwise). named_poster_tag_in_filename
is optional and will only work if you have var named_poster_media_download_only
set to true
as well. If both are enabled, only named posters images will download and the named poster's name will be in the front of the file name (ex. NameHere_-_RestOfFileName.png)

Addendum
This script is based off of my previous script, 4plebs Thread Image Downloader. Please note that if you choose to use both of these scripts, it will work better functionally if you edit the code and remove line 4, // @match https://archive.4plebs.org/*/thread/*
in this script or choose to disable the other one, as to avoid duplicate buttons appearing. To avoid that confusion, the other script will be unlisted but still available upon this script being published.
