Bing-Creator-Image-Downloader

Downloads all Bing Creator images from a collection

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+

How to use

• Clone the repository or download and unzip

Collection API method:

• Get your _U cookie for Bing. For example like described in this comment or this package
• Paste the value after the equals sign for the _U property in the COOKIE property in the .env.example file.
• Add your own collections to the collections_to_include property in the config.toml or leave the array empty to download for all collections
• Rename the .env.example file to .env

Clipboard file method:

• Go to the collection you want to download at https://www.bing.com/saves
• Scroll down until all images are loaded
• Click the Select all results in this collection button
• Click the Copy items to clipboard button
• Wait until all images are copied to the clipboard (it may take a while)
• Paste the clipboard content into the images_clipboard.txt.example file
• Remove the .example from the file name so it's called images_clipboard.txt

Shared next steps:

• Check in the config.toml if the correct image source method is selected
• Navigate to the folder of the repository
• Open a terminal e.g. PowerShell
• Run pip install -r .\requirements.txt to install all dependencies (You may need to add the PythonXX\Scripts folder to your PATH first)
• Run python .\main.py afterward to run the script
• The images of the collection are saved in the bing_images_$TodaysDate.zip file

Addendum

Each image contains the original prompt, used image link and creation date as EXIF Metadata in the UserComment field in a JSON format.
It is also saved in the XPComment field, so you can view and edit it directly in the Windows Explorer.
If you encounter any errors or have some requests, please open a new issue or discussion.
