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.
