Thanks.
For anyone else who's technologically challenged, I used cd /cygdrive/<the path to your file>, ie. cd /cygdrive/c/Users/<your_user>/Desktop to navigate to where the file is located
Lifesaver! - I didn't want to download 500 images by hand.
Work perfectly on a MacOS;
installed jq with
brew install jq
then copied this script in an only-text document of TextEdit (command shift T to made a txt.only document and command shift w to made a full page view)
using cd and chmod to change executability from /Applications/Utility/Terminal.app
cd /path/in/the/folder/you/have/saved/the/script/from/textedit
chmod +x ./icloud-album-download.sh
then, in iPhoto copy the album link like https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/it-it/#NuMbErOfAlBuM
Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD yours worked perfectly - thank you!
I'm new to this but I found my way around it after some time
I used powershell to install chocolatey and then jq
I saved the latest script on my desktop with Notepadd++ on Unix format as 'icloud-album-download.sh'
I installed cygwin
I ran the following lines:
cd c:/Users/'my user'/Desktop
chmod +x ./icloud-album-download.sh
./icloud-album-download.sh 'shared icloud album link'
Seems like everything runs without errors but nothing downloads, I get this on cygwin command window:
Getting iCloud Stream
Grabbing Large File Checksums
Adding Checksums to Array
Total Downloads: 0
Unique Downloads: 0
Streaming All Assets
Quickly wrote a new Powershell script to download iCloud shared album (photos + videos):
https://gist.github.com/GodSaveEarth/9b8d574d0f5ab789aebdfdb2db59b8df
@GodSaveEarth This worked great for me, major props. I have Android and my family sent a big iCloud photo share link so I was able to DL on my windows desktop and then drag and drop them all to Google Photos web.
I've made some modifications to the script to suit my use case
- now uses the file name from the Content-Disposition header rather than the URL when checking filenames.
- I had issues with it not seeing space symbols in filenames because the url had + characters instead
- checks for files in the download folder that aren't part of the icloud shared album, and deletes them
- only if they're a media file with a known extension
- and only if you're running this while specifying an output directory
It's here: icloud_photo.sh
Never coded in java, but I guess the script curl_post_json is doing a json post on the serve using curl. I google-translated it into bash. Unfortunately, the curl post returned null from https://p23-sharedstreams.icloud.com/$(echo $1 | cut -d# -f2)/sharedstreams. Can someone help to point to a working stream server that still provides the webstream API. Thanks a lot. Just want to download a lot of pictures from kid's soccer game.
i updated the comment above. apparently rev command is not recognized by git bash. Just use cygwin instead. It's pretty easy to setup. Download the setup from https://www.cygwin.com/.
