Examples
--------
Download images; in this case from danbooru via tag search for 'bonocho':

Get the direct URL of an image from a site that requires authentication:
.. code:: bash
$ gallery-dl -g -u <username> -p <password> http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im3211703
| Search a remote resource for URLs and download images from them:
| (URLs for which no extractor can be found will be silently ignored)
.. code:: bash
$ gallery-dl r:https://pastebin.com/raw/FLwrCYsT
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_.
| For a configuration file example with more involved settings and options,
see gallery-dl-example.conf_.
| A list of all available configuration options and their
descriptions can be found in configuration.rst_.
*gallery-dl* searches for configuration files in the following places:
+--------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Linux | Windows |
+--------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
|* ``/etc/gallery-dl.conf`` |* |
|* ``${HOME}/.config/gallery-dl/config.json``|* ``%USERPROFILE%\gallery-dl\config.json``|
|* ``${HOME}/.gallery-dl.conf`` |* ``%USERPROFILE%\gallery-dl.conf`` |
+--------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
(``%USERPROFILE%`` usually refers to the user's home directory,
i.e. ``C:\Users\<username>\``)
Values in later configuration files will override previous ones.
Authentication
==============
Username & Password
-------------------
Some extractors require you to provide valid login-credentials in the form of
a username & password pair. This is necessary for
``pixiv``, ``nijie``, and ``seiga``
and optional (but strongly recommended) for
``danbooru``, ``exhentai``, ``idolcomplex``, ``instagram``,
``luscious``, ``sankaku``, ``tsumino``, and ``twitter``.
You can set the necessary information in your configuration file
(cf. gallery-dl.conf_)
.. code::
{
"extractor": {
...
"pixiv": {
"username": "<username>",
"password": "<password>"
}
...
}
}
or you can provide them directly via the
:code:`-u/--username` and :code:`-p/--password` or via the
:code:`-o/--option` command-line options
.. code:: bash
$ gallery-dl -u <username> -p <password> URL
$ gallery-dl -o username=<username> -o password=<password> URL
OAuth
-----
*gallery-dl* supports user authentication via OAuth_ for
``deviantart``, ``flickr``, ``reddit``, ``smugmug`` and ``tumblr``.
This is entirely optional, but grants *gallery-dl* the ability
to issue requests on your account's behalf and enables it to access resources
which would otherwise be unavailable to a public user.
To link your account to *gallery-dl*, start by invoking it with
``oauth:<site-name>`` as an argument. For example:
.. code:: bash
$ gallery-dl oauth:flickr
You will be sent to the site's authorization page and asked to grant read
access to *gallery-dl*. Authorize it and you will be shown one or more
"tokens", which should be added to your configuration file.
