For more information read this open letter to SmugMug.
a simple command line tool for smugmug (using smugpy). Written in python 2.x/3.x
Currently broken. Unfortunately smugpy looks abandoned, and since June 11, 2018, SmugMug API only accepts SSL connections (which smugpy doesn't support). Any volunteers to fork or upgrade smugpy or build the API v2 binding (or to take over the project), please get in touch.
git clone
the repository from githubpip install -r requirements.txt
You must have a smugmug account and apply for an API key.
Once you apply, the API key will be visible on your account settings -> Me -> API keys.
You only need the Key
(no need for the Secret
).

smugline tries to avoid uploading images that were already uploaded to smugmug. To do so, it relies on the MD5 signature, based on the actual content of the image. This is the most reliable way to detect two identical copies of any file. However, Smugmug appears to auto-rotate images once they are uploaded. In such cases, the MD5 signature will mismatch and duplicate images might still get created.
A workaround for this problem, is to rotate all images before uploading. More information about image rotation tools.
On Linux, the best way to achieve this is using the exifautotran
utility (on ubuntu run sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo-progs
).
the clear_duplicates
command will search for items in an album with identical MD5 signature, and will keep only one
copy. It won't detect any changes to metadata (caption, comments etc), so use with care!
smugline is still young and experimental. Feel free to open an issue on github to report any problems. Code contributions are most welcome to extend and improve smugline
