da-cli DeviantArt Sync Skill

Skill by ara.so — Devtools Skills collection.

Overview

da-cli is a zero-dependency Python CLI tool that syncs DeviantArt galleries to local folders. It uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for authentication, maintains a SQLite index for incremental syncs, and supports scheduled backups via launchd (macOS) or systemd (Linux). Key features:

• Zero runtime dependencies — pure Python 3.10+ stdlib
• Incremental sync — SQLite index tracks what's downloaded; re-runs cost one API call when nothing's new
• OAuth 2.1 PKCE — secure authentication with automatic token refresh
• Multiple sync modes — watch feed, specific artists, all watched users
• Scheduled automation — launchd/systemd integration for unattended syncs
• Search & browse — tags, topics, daily deviations, user profiles
• Secrets in Keychain — macOS Keychain integration for client secrets
