⁠mcr-dl

Command-line tile downloader/assembler for MyCoRe⁠ tiled images.

⁠Requirements

• Ruby
• Bundler⁠
• ImageMagick⁠

⁠Usage

bundle exec ./mcr-dl.rb 'http://example.com/servlets/MCRTileServlet/example_derivate_00001234/example_filename_300.jpg/imageinfo.xml'

To find a .xml URL for a given MyCoRe image viewer, you may need to open your web browser's Developer Tools and go to e.g. the "Network" pane, then reload the page and see what resources are loaded via AJAX.

Alternately, if you have PhantomJS⁠ installed, you can use xmlreqs.js to list all URLs ending in .xml requested by a given webpage URL:

phantomjs xmlreqs.js 'http://example.com/viewer/example_derivate_00001234/example_filename_300.jpg'

⁠Docker Usage

There's also an automated build for this repository on Docker Hub at ryanfb/mcr-dl⁠. It defines an ENTRYPOINT which will start mcr-dl.rb and pass any other arguments or environment variables to it, as well as defining a /data volume which you can map to your host to store manifests and images. For example, to download an image into the current directory:

docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data ryanfb/mcr-dl 'http://example.com/servlets/MCRTileServlet/example_derivate_00001234/example_filename_300.jpg/imageinfo.xml'
