An URL alone isn't good enough to distinguish between a gallery or a
gallery-listing, so the new extractor decides what to do based on the
page's content.
Instead of getting a complete 'filename' from an URL and splitting that
into 'name' and 'extension', the new approach gets rid of the complete
version and renames 'name' to 'filename'. (Using anything other than
{extension} for a filename extension doesn't really work anyway)
Example: "https://example.org/path/filename.ext"
before:
- filename : filename.ext
- name : filename
- extension: ext
now:
- filename : filename
- extension: ext
Instead of a strict list of (URL, RESULTS)-tuples, extractor result
tests can now be a single (URL, RESULTS)-tuple, if it's just one test,
and "only matching" tests can now be a simple string.
Extractors for Mastodon instances can now be dynamically generated,
based on the instance names in the 'extractor.mastodon.*' config path.
Example:
{
"extractor": {
"mastodon": {
"pawoo.net": { ... },
"mastodon.xyz": { ... },
"tabletop.social": { ... },
...
}
}
}
Each entry requires an 'access-token' value, which can be generated with
'gallery-dl oauth:mastodon:<instance URL>'.
An 'access-token' (as well as a 'client-id' and 'client-secret') for
pawoo.net is always available, but can be overwritten as necessary.
Hidden / dashboard-only blogs are pretty straightforward and "only"
require a valid 'access-token' and 'access-token-secret' for the given
'api-key' and 'api-secret', so that signed OAuth1.0 requests are possible.
Private / password protected blogs on the other hand are a bit
cumbersome. In addition to a valid 'access-token' and
'access-token-secret', they also require the account belonging to those
tokens to be a member of the blog itself. Knowing the password and
entering it in the website isn't enough to access a blog through the
API. Following a private blog is also impossible, so that option can't
work either.
from: 5xx HTTP Error: Reason
to : 5xx: Reason
The "HTTP Error" part was in there to emulate Request's error messages
from response.raise_for_status(), but it reads a lot better without.
The functionality of --(chapter-)filter and --(chapter-)range are now
also exposed as the following config-file options:
- extractor.*.image-filter
- extractor.*.image-range
- extractor.*.chapter-filter
- extractor.*.chapter-range
TODO: update configuration.rst
This change introduces 'extractor.*.retries/timeout/verify' options
as a general way to set these values for all HTTP requests.
'downloader.http.retries/timeout/verify' is a way to override these
options for file downloads only and will fall back to 'extractor.*.…*
values if they haven't been explicitly set.
Also: downloader classes now take an extractor object as first argument
instead of a requests.session.
A format string now gets parsed only once instead of re-parsing it each
time it is applied to a set of data.
The initial parsing causes directory path creation to be at about 2x
slower than before, since each format string there is used only once,
but building a filename, the more common operation, is at least 2x
faster. The "directory slowness" cancels at about 5 filenames and
everything above that is significantly faster.
- cache manga API results
- add artist, author and date fields to chapter metadata
- remove Manga-/ChapterExtractor inheritance
- minor code simplifications and improvements
The L option allows for the contents of a format field to be replaced
with <replacement> if its length is greater than <maxlen>.
Example:
{f:L5/too long/} -> "foo" (if "f" is "foo")
-> "too long" (if "f" is "foobar")
(#92) (#94)
It is now possible to slice string (or list) values of format string
replacement fields with the same syntax as in regular Python code.
"{digits}" -> "0123456789"
"{digits[2:-2]}" -> "234567"
"{digits[:5]}" -> "01234"
The optional third parameter (step) has been left out to simplify things.
DeviantArt changed its URL format from
https://<name>.deviantart.com/...
to
https://www.deviantart.com/<name>/...
With this change both formats will be supported.
The API endpoint responsible for user illustrations does not
provide sufficient filter capabilities* to match the actual
website, so we are spinning our own filters.
Respected parameters are
'type': illust, manga, ugoira
'tag' : any image tag (this was already supported)
'p' : the page to start on
*
- API can filter for illustrations and manga, but not for ugoira.
- 'offset' is applied before filtering
- no 'tag' filter
OAuth support for SmugMug needs some additional features
(auth-rebuild on redirect, query parameters in URL, ...)
and fixing this in the old code wouldn't work all that well.
Pinterest access tokens are rate limited at 200 requests per
hour (or maybe per 2 or 3 hours?) so having just one access token
for all users isn't going to work in the long run.
- another irrelevant micro-optimization !
- use urllib.parse.parse_qsl directly instead of parse_qs, which
just packs the results of parse_qsl in a different data structure
- reduced memory requirements since no additional dict and lists are
created

calling 'abort()' in a filter aborts the current extractor run
in a cleaner way than using something like 1/0, which
causes an error message to be printed
https://img.yt/ wasn't available for a couple of days, but has now
re-emerged as https://imx.to/ with a new web-interface.
Links to older images still work (see tests).
- fix the cloudflare challenge result if the last decimal places
are zero (JS`s toFixed() removes trailing zeroes)
- fix downloading of kissmanga chapter-pages hosted on blogspot
(accessing blogspot with "kissmanga.com" as referrer yields a 401)
- disable certificate validation for 'mangahere' tests
- update flickr test result
Python3.5 and lower throw an UnicodeEncodeError when trying to print
not-encodable characters when not using 'utf-8' as encoding.
Setting their error handlers to 'replace' should help.
... to behave in a more straightforward way when dealing with
bookmarks/favourites/etc.
specific IDs are now grouped by their owner, album-id, ... to
allow for duplicates when it would be expected.
Missing or undefined keywords will now be replaced with the value
set for 'keywords-default'. The default is Python's 'None', which
is equivalent to setting this option to JSON's 'null'.
Instead of a dictionary/object, input file options are now specified
by a 'key=value' pair starting with '-' for options only applying to
the next URL or '-G' for Global options applying to all following URLs.
See the docstring of parse_inputfile() for details.
Example option specifiers:
- filename = "{id}.{extension}"
- extractor.pixiv.user.directory = ["Pixiv Users", "{user[id]}"]
-spaces="are_optional"
-G keywords = {"global": "option"}
