pxer

Pxer is an open source tool designed to help users collect and download artwork from the Pixiv illustration platform. It is implemented primarily in client-side JavaScript and runs directly in the browser through a userscript environment, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with Pixiv pages. Pxer provides functionality to crawl and gather images, artwork metadata, and other related content from supported Pixiv pages. It is designed to be accessible even for users who are not developers, emphasizing ease of use and quick setup through browser extensions such as Tampermonkey. Once installed, Pxer adds controls to compatible Pixiv pages so users can trigger batch retrieval of illustrations and related assets. It focuses on making it easier to obtain large collections of artworks from artists, bookmarks, rankings, and search results. Its browser-based approach means the tool can operate without requiring a standalone desktop application while still providing powerful scraping.
