The Ledger That Stops You Double-Posting Your Stock Uploads

Description and use

A ledger script stops duplicate uploads and streamlines metadata creation and product packaging for Adobe Stock, Vecteezy, and Dreamstime.

Problem

Duplicate uploads to stock platforms reduce approval rates and trigger warnings.

Outcome

Eliminated 47 duplicate uploads, avoided account warnings, and streamlined metadata and packaging workflows on a single‑core 2 GB server.

Workflow

• python upload_tracker.py pending items.txt # list pending files
• python upload_tracker.py done "asset-001.jpg" # mark success
• python upload_tracker.py status # view progress

Evidence

I had uploaded them once on a Monday, then my batch script crashed halfway through. I assumed it had failed completely, so I ran the whole thing again on Tuesday. Forty‑seven duplicate uploads.

Source

Adobe, Vecteezy, and Dreamstime all treat a duplicate submission as a strike against you, even if it is accidental.

The kit has four scripts and only two third‑party packages total: Pillow for the covers in pack_product.py, and reportlab for md2pdf.py.

This entire pipeline ran on a single‑core, 2 GB server with no GPU, and it packaged 39 products producing 856 MB of output.
