This is a simple script to bulk download all the photos from an Aura digital picture frame (auraframes.com). Aura provides no easy way to bulk download photos off of frames so I created this for use with Python 3.

No worries! You saved us a ton of time as the first frame we gave my parents could not maintain a connection. We ordered a second frame and uploaded all the downloaded images from the first frame. Considering those photos came from six different persons it would have been a miserable and sort of embarrassing act to ask them to upload the photos again. Thank you again for developing this script.

Nice job. Do you know the API verb to upload images? Is the Aura API documented somewhere?

I'm also wondering if this is readily available information. Aura is discontinuing their Google Photos integration, so having a way to handle this via a script would be nice.

Thanks, this is great! My Mom just moved into an assisted living apartment and can't use a wifi digital frame. I am trying to "recreate" her Aura frame with a USB-stick frame, but was faced with the daunting task of downloading 480+ images from 15 friends and family members to recreate her old frame. This script made it so easy.

I've updated the main project to support downloading videos now, both the mp4 video file and a still image of the video: https://github.com/meub/aura-frame-downloader. It works in both the CLI and the Mac app.

In contrast to complaints above, indicating there may be a 1000 photo limits. I can confirm that the v2.1.0 Windows executable release (two weeks ago) does not have any issues with very large Aura Frame sets. I downloaded from two different frames, one containing 1880 photos and one with 4350 photos. No problems whatsoever. All went perfect.
