04 Mar 09 Scraping and Saving Flickr Images with Ruby
I've been playing around a bit more with the black arts of spidering and scraping in Ruby and I'm still amazed by how easy it is to do. For fun I whipped up a little script that will spider a Flickr photostream and download all the images.
Flickr provides a wonderful api and there's even a great Ruby interface for it, so this script is entirely futile. But it was fun and educational.
Usage
ruby init.rb yourusername /location/to/save
