Grab today's Bing wallpaper

Quick start

Install with cargo:

$ cargo install bingwall

or download latest binary (Linux x86-64 / Windows amd64) from releases.

Simply run bingwall to download the wallpaper:

$ bingwall
./202601100800_UHD.jpg

Options

Specify output directory/file

By default, the wallpaper is saved in the current directory. You can specify a different output directory or file using the -o option.

$ bingwall -o /tmp
/tmp/202601100800_UHD.jpg

$ bingwall -o /tmp/wallpaper.jpg
/tmp/wallpaper.jpg

If the output file already exists, it will not be overwritten unless you use the -f option.

$ bingwall -o /tmp/wallpaper.jpg
Error: Custom { kind: AlreadyExists, error: "image already exists, overwrite with -f" }
$ bingwall -o /tmp/wallpaper.jpg -f
/tmp/wallpaper.jpg

Override origin

The default origin is https://www.bing.com. You can override this with the --origin option if you need to comply with regional restrictions.

$ bingwall --origin https://cn.bing.com
./202601100800_UHD.jpg

Proxy

Only HTTP CONNECT proxy is supported.

You can specify a proxy either with the --proxy option or by setting any of the following environment variables:

• https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY
• http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY
• all_proxy or ALL_PROXY

⚠️ NOTE: The first existing proxy environment variable is used, regardless of its protocol.

The --proxy option takes precedence over environment variables.

$ bingwall --proxy http://localhost:3128
./202601100800_UHD.jpg

$ env all_proxy=http://localhost:3128 bingwall
./202601100800_UHD.jpg
