pinbackup
=========
Backup your Pinterest boards locally. This project is mainly for getting a little bit into Go programming and other technologies. So it's just for fun. While it works for me quite well expect a few rough edges.
Installation
------------
Clone the Git repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/githubixx/pinbackup
cd pinbackup
```
The `master` branch is used for development. While it should be in a good shape in general stable releases are tagged. Check out the latest tag e.g.:
```bash
# List available tags
git tag
# Checkout latest tag
git checkout 0.1.0
```
Configuration
-------------
Open the **docker-compose.yml** file if you want to change the build settings but it should work with the default values. But there are two important settings that must be adjusted:
```bash
LOGIN_NAME: "[email protected]"
LOGIN_PASSWORD: "secret"
```
Replace the values with your Pinterest login name and password (Google, Facebook, ... logins don't work). Also of possible interest where the `downloader` stores the images:
```yaml
downloader:
volumes:
- /tmp:/tmp
```
The default base path is `/tmp`. The final path of the pictures is composed of base path + user + board name e.g. `/tmp/user/board/`.
Build and run
-------------
The easiest way to build the binary and run it later is using [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). So to build the binary and the container images run
```bash
docker-compose build
```
To start the containers all the container run
```bash
docker-compose start -d
```
Usage
-----
To start a board download you need `curl` or `wget`. There is no UI (yet). So if you want to download the pictures of `https://www.pinterest.com/user/board/` e.g. use this command:
```bash
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request POST \
--data '{"url": "https://www.pinterest.com/user/board/"}' \
http://localhost:8080/api/v1/board
```
Of course you can also use national domains here too like `pinterest.de` and so on. This returns a JSON response which includes a `uuid`. To pretty print the output you can use the `jq` utility by adding a pipe (`| jq` e.g.).
To stop the containers use
```bash
docker-compose stop
```
