Civitai Downloader

Downloads specified models from Civitai, along with metadata and images.

For now it supports downloading one or more models from URLs manually inserted by the user. I'll add support for downloading favorited models and all models by uploader later. Next thing coming is command line arguments and a config file.

I don't plan to add functionality to download the entire site, if you want to do that edit the code by yourself.

Known issues:

• Gifs might be downloaded as JPEGs or other formats

How to use

NOT TESTED ON LINUX

This guide assumes you have basic knowledge on how to run python code and use cmd/powershell. If you don't, please search on youtube first.

• Clone or download this repo.
  • git clone https://github.com/4zure0/civitai_downloader.git
• Make sure you have python installed. Although it might run on other versions, it was made to run on python 3.10. You can check your version with python --version
• Install dependencies with pip. To do that navigate to the folder you downloaded this repository and run python -m pip install -r requirements.txt on powershell/cmd.
• Run civitai_downloader.py with python civitai_downloader.py
• Enter the models you want to downloader and press enter.

This will downloader the models under a folder called "models", in the same directory that your civitai_downloader.py file is located.

Feel free to contribute to the project. Right now this is a big mess that needs improvements after all :D If you have any problems or bug reports just open a new issue and I'll check it when I have time.

Slightly "advanced":

You can change options by editing the code (this will be a config.json in the future):

# Basic config
models_folder = "models" # This doesn't work with full paths. It will just change the folder name.
civitai_token = None # If you want to increase your rate limits on Civitai, get your API token (from account setings) and put it there as a string
# Please be careful if you are using it and plan to do a push request.

# Metadata Options
updated_metadata = True
backup_metadata = True

# Models Options
skip_duplicate_models = True
use_subfolder = False # This save will models (.safetensors, .ckpt etc) under a subfolder named "files"

# Image Options
skip_duplicate_images = True
redownload_corrupted = False # Most of times corrupted files don't exist on Civitai anymore, but the API still return them when you request the model's metadata```
