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>`__.

========
1) `Extractor Options`_

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``
Example
``"{manga}_c{chapter}_{page:>03}.{extension}"``
Description
A `format string`_ to build the resulting filename
for a downloaded file.
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``
Example
``["{category}", "{manga}", "c{chapter} - {title}"]``
Description
A list of `format strings`_ for the resulting target directory.

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

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 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
--------------------------

]
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.

``bool`` or ``string``
Default
``true``
Description
Controls whether to verify SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS requests.

|requests.request()|_ method.
extractor.*.download
--------------------
Type
``bool``
Default
``true``
Description

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.
zip.compression
---------------
Type
``string``
Default
``"store"``
Description
Compression method to use when writing the archive.
Possible values are ``"store"``, ``"zip"``, ``"bzip2"``, ``"lzma"``.
zip.extension
-------------
Type
``string``
Default
``"zip"``
Description
Filename extension for the created ZIP archive.
zip.keep-files
--------------
Type
``bool``
Default
``false``
Description
Keep the actual files after writing them to a ZIP archive.
zip.mode
--------
Type
``string``
Default
``"default"``
Description
* ``"default"``: Write the central directory file header
once after everything is done or an exception is raised.
* ``"safe"``: Update the central directory file header
each time a file is stored in a ZIP archive.
This greatly reduces the chance a ZIP archive gets corrupted in
case the Python interpreter gets shut down unexpectedly
(power outage, SIGKILL) but is also a lot slower.
Miscellaneous Options
=====================
extractor.modules
-----------------
Type
``list`` of ``strings``
Default
The ``modules`` list in
`extractor/__init__.py <../gallery_dl/extractor/__init__.py#L12>`__

Path of the SQLite3 database used to cache login sessions,
cookies and API tokens across `gallery-dl` invocations.
Set this option to ``null`` or an invalid path to disable
this cache.

Custom Types
============
Date
----
Type
``string`` or ``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.
Path
----
Type
``string`` or ``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
---------------------
Type
``object``
Example
.. code:: json
{
"format" : "{asctime} {name}: {message}",
"format-date": "%H:%M:%S",
"path" : "~/log.txt",
"encoding" : "ascii"
}
.. code:: json
{
