Download 411 Bob Ross Paintings

Download all 411 Bob Ross paintings from the website Two Inch Brush (https://www.twoinchbrush.com) with Python.

This is an update to a similar solution made by Jeffrey Thompson (https://gist.github.com/jeffThompson/6d4c45f89dc907925775972e72d9cf00). I had problems running his code with Python 3, so I wrote my own code that essentially does the same thing.

Code

import requests

NUM_IMAGES = 411
# You must change the output file destination
save_destination = "C:/Users/Thomas/Downloads/"
# Change the output file name prefix if needed
file_name_prefix = "bob_ross_painting"

for i in range(1, NUM_IMAGES + 1):
    try:
        url = f"http://www.twoinchbrush.com/images/painting{i}.png"
        print(f"downloading painting {i} of {NUM_IMAGES}: {url}...")
        with open(f"{save_destination}{file_name_prefix}_{i}.png", 'wb') as f:
            f.write(requests.get(url).content)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

How to use

Download the script and edit the save_destionation to one appropriate for your sytem. Run the script with Python 3.
