This script downloads images collection from the IIIF container manifests created by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage's system Antenati.

It may work with any manifest for a IIIF container containing collections of JPEG files with little adjustments, but I din't extensively test it.

You must install NodeJS on your machine.

Then, you can run this command to install the script:

npm install -g @lbreda/antenati-dl

You may need administrative powers.

You can run:

antenati-dl URL [offset] [limit]

with the URL being the IIIF Manifest URL, the offset being the first element to download (1-based, defaults to 1) and the limit being the number of elements to download (defaults to "all elements after the offset").

The script will create a directory named by the collection identifier in the Antenati website, and download the sequence of images inside the directory.

Each file will be named with the collection identifier followed by a order number.

The directory will also contain a YAML file with the dump of the collection metadata.
