How to Query the Database with tool.py (make sure catalog.db is in the same directory)

To see a clean summary overview of an artist:

python tool.py --user artist_fc17f3c7 --overview
# or query by author UUID:
python tool.py --user fc17f3c7-73ab-4866-8d1a-554da8ea68a9 --overview

To see full breakdown and all image links by artist:

python tool.py --user artist_fc17f3c7

To see all artworks, software, metadata, and creator for a specific post:

python tool.py --post 00002b4d-120a-4e94-bae7-49b9c905bc05
# or using web URL:
python tool.py --post https://cara.app/post/00002b4d-120a-4e94-bae7-49b9c905bc05

To find the post and creator that an artwork image belongs to:

python tool.py --art tenaebron-S4TIL677BLm8bh_T0jB6I-post-cover-image.jpeg
# or using direct CDN link:
python tool.py --art https://cdn.cara.app/production/posts/93d6c843-1f4a-429d-8144-31e9099b95c6/tenaebron-S4TIL677BLm8bh_T0jB6I-post-cover-image.jpeg
