Use a 'gallery-dl' subdirectory in ~/.cache to adhere to how other
programs store their cached data, and call os.makedirs() so it also
works without an existing ~/.cache directory.
Use either $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache (if the former isn't set)
and store potentially sensitive cookies and tokens in a user's
home directory and not in the world-readable /tmp.
The RE-tries option now specifies exactly that: the maximum number a
failed HTTP request is re-tried. For example a value of 2 will now
correctly stop after 3 attempts: the initial one + 2 re-tries.
The maximum wait-time now also caps at 30min and increases exponentially
for both extractor.request() and downloader.http.download().
The default value for both is 'false', i.e. duplicate URLs are NOT
ignored.
The previous behavior was to always ignore duplicate URLs to make
'--abort-on-skip' work properly when new images where added to the
beginning of a collection while gallery-dl is running.
- use API
- remove login support, add 'api-key' option
- remove support for "alpha" subdomain - alpha.wallhaven.cc used numeric
IDs that can't be translated to the new ID system
- support direct links to wallpapers
- simplify pagination
- add more metadata and slightly change its structure
- convert suitable values to int or list
- move keys from ["photo"] to the base level
- proper video support (#246)
- rename method and variable names to better fit with other extractors
- use original image if available
- support video formats
- remove user info for ImageExtractor (it is no longer possible to get
image owner information for a single image)
This allows for stuff like "{extractor.url}" and "{extractor.category}"
in logging format strings.
Accessing 'extractor' and 'job' in any way will return "None" if those
fields aren't defined, i.e. in general logging messages.
... via HTTP Basic Auth with username and "password".
The password value in this case is not the account password itself,
but the"api_key" found in your user profile.
The "default" downloader options (rate, retries, timeout, verify) are
mapped to corresponding youtube-dl options.
downloader.ytdl.logging tells the downloader to pass youtube-dl's output
to a Logger object.
downloader.ytdl.raw-options allows to pass arbitrary options to the
YoutubeDL constructor.
In addition to 'abort' and 'exit', it is now possible to specify
'abort:N' and 'exit:N' (where N is any integer) as value for 'skip'
to abort/exit after consecutively skipping N downloads.
Enabling this option will detect videos in tweets and output them as
"unsupported" URLs, so that these can then be downloaded with youtube-dl
There are a lot of improvements to be made to the current
implementation, but it works and does what it is supposed to, even if
inefficient as can be ...
