CT-Pic-Grabber

Grab and save random pictures from unsplash.com

About this App:

This application was created in free pascal using Code Typhon Studio which is a fork of Lazarus IDE.

The source code is a companion to my Youtube tutorial on how to scrape a website. Although I reccommend using a website's API for getting content, this is a website friendly low volume app intended to teach the basics of web scraping when an API is not available.

Features:

By default you can randomly grab a picture from the unsplash.com homepage.

Use the Search field to find specific pictures.

Use the Arrow buttons, or keys on your keyboard to scroll through the available pictures.

Direct enter a number in the number field to load a specific image from your list.

Use the Z key to remove the panels for a clean picture view. Press Z again to restore the controls.

Save your pictures using the main menu File, Save or CTRL+S on the keyboard.

Save full set - Save all the grabbed images.
