acdl is a bash script that scrapes AlphaCoders for wallpapers from the command line. Unlike conventional scraping scripts, acdl allows you to select wallpapers before downloading them. Heavily inspired by waldl.

• Command line based
• Few dependencies (portable)
• Fast in both large and small sample sizes
• Preview and select images before downloading them

• GNU Coreutils
• curl
• sed
• grep
• rofi or dmenu (both are optional)
• An image viewer (default is sxiv)

See acdl --help.

The following are the default configuration values:

img_viewer="sxiv"
viewer_opts="-tpo -z 200"
pages=1
output="${HOME}/Wallpapers/alphacoders"
cachedir="${HOME}/.cache/alphacoders"
silent=false

Modify any of these values in $HOME/.config/acdlrc to configure acdl
