Now we’re going to search this file to find everything that starts with “http” and ends with “jp2” (what I’m calling the base URLs).Your manifest will now look something like this: Your find and replace box will look like this (don’t forget to check the “grep” box at the bottom!): Find and replace. Do this using the “grep” option, using “\r” to add the return. The easiest way to do this is to find and replace all commas with a comma followed by a hard return.
You need to get all the URLs on separate lines. When it opens, it will appear as a single long string:
Open the manifest you just downloaded in TextWrangler. IIIF manifest is on the bottom of the list Once you’ve found one, download the IIIF manifest (click the “Bibliographic Information” button on the far left, which opens a menu, then click on the IIIF manifest link) Search the Vatican Digital Library for the manuscript you want. Next, we need to pull all the base URLs out of the Vatican manifest. Why this is important will become clear momentarily.įirst, make sure you have all the software you’ll need: Firefox, Down Them All, and TextWrangler. In addition to Down Them All I like to use a combination of TextWrangler and a website called Multilinkr, which takes text URLs and turns them into hot links. What can you do in that case? In that case, what you need to do it build a list of urls pointing to images, then you can use Down Them All (or other tools) to download them. The URLs in manifests don’t link directly to images you need to add criteria at the end of the URLs to hit the images. The manifests published by the Vatican Digital Library are a good example of this. TEXTWRANGLER WIKI HOW TO
Last week I posted on how to use a Firefox plugin called Down them All to download all the files from an e-codices IIIF manifest (there’s also a tutorial video on YouTube, one of a small but growing collection that will soon include a video outlining the process described here), but not all manifests include direct links to images.
