Download from Danbooru with parent or child or sibling posts

[perelem-901]

Is there any way to download all siblings when downloading a file from danbooru?

Here is example: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/9825079

It is a parent post with 4 child posts. Is it possible to download all 5 of them when downloading any one of them?

My guess would be "no", because I didn't find anything in docs and also it is not obvious how to handle multiple levels of hierarchy, but I am still interested.

Example of multiple levels, if someone needs it: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/9841758

Would the parent: "tag" work for you?

Oh, I didn't think of this. Thank you.

It is not exactly what I had in mind, but I think I can work with this.

Consider asking in the Danbooru Forum or on their Discord. Maybe someone there knows of a different / better meta tag that allows including all of parent + (nested) children in a single tag search, or some other method to accomplish this.

I ended up with this script to process backlog of links:

./gallery-dl.bin --download-archive archive.sqlite --write-tags --Print parent[id] -i to_download.txt \
| grep --line-buffered -v -e None -e ./gallery-dl \
| sed --unbuffered 's/[0-9]\+/https:\/\/danbooru.donmai.us\/posts?tags=parent%3A&/' \
> parents.txt

It downloads files from links in to_download.txt (because I need to download them anyway) and writes to parents.txt links to download all files with same parents (if there is any parent).

Then I will just copy parents.txt to the usual download list.

It doesn't handle nested posts, but they are pretty rare and I can handle them by hand if needed.
