Configuration
#############
| Configuration files for *gallery-dl* use a JSON-based file format.
| For a (more or less) complete example with options set to their default values,
see `gallery-dl.conf <gallery-dl.conf>`__.
| For a configuration file example with more involved settings and options,
see `gallery-dl-example.conf <gallery-dl-example.conf>`__.
|
This file lists all available configuration options and their descriptions.

Extractor Options
=================
Each extractor is identified by its ``category`` and ``subcategory``.
The ``category`` is the lowercase site name without any spaces or special
characters, which is usually just the module name
(``pixiv``, ``danbooru``, ...).
The ``subcategory`` is a lowercase word describing the general functionality
of that extractor (``user``, ``favorite``, ``manga``, ...).
Each one of the following options can be specified on multiple levels of the
configuration tree:
================== =======
Base level: ``extractor.<option-name>``
Category level: ``extractor.<category>.<option-name>``
Subcategory level: ``extractor.<category>.<subcategory>.<option-name>``
================== =======
A value in a "deeper" level hereby overrides a value of the same name on a
lower level. Setting the ``extractor.pixiv.filename`` value, for example, lets
you specify a general filename pattern for all the different pixiv extractors.
Using the ``extractor.pixiv.user.filename`` value lets you override this
general pattern specifically for ``PixivUserExtractor`` instances.
The ``category`` and ``subcategory`` of all extractors are included in the
output of ``gallery-dl --list-extractors``. For a specific URL these values
can also be determined by using the ``-K``/``--list-keywords`` command-line
option (see the example below).
extractor.*.filename
--------------------
Type
``string`` or ``object``
Example
* .. code:: json
"{manga}_c{chapter}_{page:>03}.{extension}"
* .. code:: json
{
"extension == 'mp4'": "{id}_video.{extension}",
"'nature' in title" : "{id}_{title}.{extension}",
"" : "{id}_default.{extension}"
}
Description
A `format string`_ to build filenames for downloaded files with.
If this is an ``object``, it must contain Python expressions mapping to the
filename format strings to use.
These expressions are evaluated in the order as specified in Python 3.6+
and in an undetermined order in Python 3.4 and 3.5.
The available replacement keys depend on the extractor used. A list
of keys for a specific one can be acquired by calling *gallery-dl*
with the ``-K``/``--list-keywords`` command-line option.
For example:
.. code::
$ gallery-dl -K http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im5977527
Keywords for directory names:
-----------------------------
category
seiga
subcategory
image
Keywords for filenames:
-----------------------
category
seiga
extension
None
image-id
5977527
subcategory
image
Note: Even if the value of the ``extension`` key is missing or
``None``, it will be filled in later when the file download is
starting. This key is therefore always available to provide
a valid filename extension.
extractor.*.directory
---------------------
Type
``list`` of ``strings`` or ``object``
Example
* .. code:: json
["{category}", "{manga}", "c{chapter} - {title}"]
* .. code:: json

"'nature' in content": ["Nature Pictures"],
"retweet_id != 0" : ["{category}", "{user[name]}", "Retweets"],
"" : ["{category}", "{user[name]}"]
}
Description
A list of `format strings`_ to build target directory paths with.
If this is an ``object``, it must contain Python expressions mapping to the
list of format strings to use.
Each individual string in such a list represents a single path
segment, which will be joined together and appended to the
base-directory_ to form the complete target directory path.

``"firefox"`` for ``patreon``, ``null`` everywhere else
Example
* ``"chrome:macos"``
Description
Try to emulate a real browser (``firefox`` or ``chrome``)

`format strings`_.
extractor.*.url-metadata
------------------------
Type
``string``
Default
``null``
Description
Insert a file's download URL into its metadata dictionary as the given name.
For example, setting this option to ``"gdl_file_url"`` will cause a new
metadata field with name ``gdl_file_url`` to appear, which contains the
current file's download URL.
This can then be used in `filenames <extractor.*.filename_>`_,
with a ``metadata`` post processor, etc.
extractor.*.path-metadata
-------------------------
Type
``string``
Default
``null``
Description
Insert a reference to the current `PathFormat <https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/v1.22.4/gallery_dl/path.py#L20>`__
data structure into metadata dictionaries as the given name.
For example, setting this option to ``"gdl_path"`` would make it possible
to access the current file's filename as ``"[gdl_path.filename}"``.
extractor.*.category-transfer
-----------------------------
Type
``bool``
Default
Extractor-specific
Description
Transfer an extractor's (sub)category values to all child
extractors spawned by it, to let them inherit their parent's
config options.
extractor.*.blacklist & .whitelist
----------------------------------
Type
``list`` of ``strings``
Default
``["oauth", "recursive", "test"]`` + current extractor category
Example
``["imgur", "gfycat:user", "*:image"]``
Description
A list of extractor identifiers to ignore (or allow)
when spawning child extractors for unknown URLs,
e.g. from ``reddit`` or ``plurk``.
Each identifier can be
* A category or basecategory name (``"imgur"``, ``"mastodon"``)
* | A (base)category-subcategory pair, where both names are separated by a colon (``"gfycat:user"``).
| Both names can be a `*` or left empty, matching all possible names (``"*:image"``, ``":user"``).
Note: Any ``blacklist`` setting will automatically include
``"oauth"``, ``"recursive"``, and ``"test"``.
extractor.*.archive
-------------------
Type
|Path|_
Default
``null``
Example
``"$HOME/.archives/{category}.sqlite3"``
Description
File to store IDs of downloaded files in. Downloads of files
already recorded in this archive file will be
`skipped <extractor.*.skip_>`__.
The resulting archive file is not a plain text file but an SQLite3
database, as either lookup operations are significantly faster or
memory requirements are significantly lower when the
amount of stored IDs gets reasonably large.
Note: Archive files that do not already exist get generated automatically.
Note: Archive paths support regular `format string`_ replacements,
but be aware that using external inputs for building local paths
may pose a security risk.
extractor.*.archive-format
--------------------------
Type
``string``
Example
``"{id}_{offset}"``
Description
An alternative `format string`_ to build archive IDs with.
extractor.*.archive-prefix
--------------------------

"command": ["/home/foobar/script", "{category}", "{image_id}"]
}
]
Description
A list of `post processors <Postprocessor Configuration_>`__
to be applied to each downloaded file in the specified order.
| Unlike other options, a |postprocessors|_ setting at a deeper level
does not override any |postprocessors|_ setting at a lower level.
| Instead, all post processors from all applicable |postprocessors|_
settings get combined into a single list.
For example
* an ``mtime`` post processor at ``extractor.postprocessors``,
* a ``zip`` post processor at ``extractor.pixiv.postprocessors``,
* and using ``--exec``
will run all three post processors - ``mtime``, ``zip``, ``exec`` -
for each downloaded ``pixiv`` file.
extractor.*.retries
-------------------
Type
``integer``
Default
``4``
Description
Maximum number of times a failed HTTP request is retried before

thread <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20847674>`__
for more information.
This option, when ``libx264/5`` is used, automatically
adds ``["-vf", "crop=iw-mod(iw\\,2):ih-mod(ih\\,2)"]``
to the list of FFmpeg command-line arguments
to reduce an odd width/height by 1 pixel and make them even.

Custom Types
============
Date
----
Type
* ``string``
* ``integer``
Example
* ``"2019-01-01T00:00:00"``
* ``"2019"`` with ``"%Y"`` as `date-format`_
* ``1546297200``
Description
A |Date|_ value represents a specific point in time.
* If given as ``string``, it is parsed according to `date-format`_.
* If given as ``integer``, it is interpreted as UTC timestamp.
Duration
--------
Type
* ``float``
* ``list`` with 2 ``floats``
* ``string``
Example
* ``2.85``
* ``[1.5, 3.0]``
* ``"2.85"``, ``"1.5-3.0"``
Description
A |Duration|_ represents a span of time in seconds.
* If given as a single ``float``, it will be used as that exact value.
* If given as a ``list`` with 2 floating-point numbers ``a`` & ``b`` ,
it will be randomly chosen with uniform distribution such that ``a <= N <=b``.
(see `random.uniform() <https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.uniform>`_)
* If given as a ``string``, it can either represent a single ``float``
value (``"2.85"``) or a range (``"1.5-3.0"``).
Path
----
Type
* ``string``
* ``list`` of ``strings``
Example
* ``"file.ext"``
* ``"~/path/to/file.ext"``
* ``"$HOME/path/to/file.ext"``
* ``["$HOME", "path", "to", "file.ext"]``
Description
A |Path|_ is a ``string`` representing the location of a file
or directory.
Simple `tilde expansion <https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser>`__
and `environment variable expansion <https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expandvars>`__
is supported.
In Windows environments, backslashes (``"\"``) can, in addition to
forward slashes (``"/"``), be used as path separators.
Because backslashes are JSON's escape character,
they themselves have to be escaped.
The path ``C:\path\to\file.ext`` has therefore to be written as
``"C:\\path\\to\\file.ext"`` if you want to use backslashes.
Logging Configuration
