js_classmates_dl

A script to quickly download classmates yearbook images while logged in.

How to use:

Open downloadYearbook.js and copy it into a text editor.

Modify baseURL to the base URL of the yearbook.

Modify pages to the total number of pages in the yearbook.

While logged into Classmates.com, copy/paste the code into the console and hit Enter.

Just wait a while. It can't download everything all at once.

How do I find the Base URL?

You will need to open a yearbook on the website while logged in. While in PAGE VIEW, right click a page and select OPEN IMAGE IN NEW TAB or equivalent. The new tab should be showing the image only.

You should now have a URL in the address bar that looks like: https://yb.cmcdn.com/yearbooks/X/X/X/X/00000000000000000000000000000000/1100/0001.jpg?h=00000000000000000000000000000000

Strip the end bits of the URL so it looks like: https://yb.cmcdn.com/yearbooks/X/X/X/X/00000000000000000000000000000000/1100/

Make sure that little / is at the end, too!

Congrats, you have your base url! Put that in the script.

How do I know the amount of Pages?

Go to Grid View on an opened yearbook and go to the last page. Open the image in a new tab.

The URL in the address bar should tell you something like: 0256.jpg

That number 0256 is how many pages it has. You can simply set it to 256 in the script.

How do I find/use a console?

While logged into Classmates.com in your browser, press F12 on your keyboard.

Something should pop up on the side or bottom of your screen.

Open the Tab called Console.

This is where you will copy/paste the code.
