Python script to download models from CivitAI using an API key

Getting Started

This script requires a CivitAI API key. You can create the API key as follows:

Log into CivitAI.
Go to the Manage Account page.
Scroll down to the API Keys section, close to the bottom of the page.
Click the + Add API key button to create a new API key.
Give the API key a name and click the Save button.
You will then use your newly created API key with this script.

Installation

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashleykleynhans/civitai-downloader/main/download.py
mv download.py /usr/local/bin/download-model
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/download-model

[!NOTE] This assumes you are using RunPod and logged in as root user. If not, the installation commands should be prefixed with sudo.

[!IMPORTANT] It is important to ensure that you use the DOWNLOAD link and not the link to the model page in CivitAI.
