share extractor and downloader sessions
There was never any "good" reason for the strict separation
between extractors and downloaders. This change allows for
reduced resource usage (probably unnoticeable) and less lines
of code at the "cost" of tighter coupling.

Configuration
=============

Configuration files for *gallery-dl* use a JSON-based file format.
For a (more or less) complete example, see gallery-dl.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 paths:

+--------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| 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 users 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 ``exhentai`` and ``batoto``.

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 ``flickr`` and
``reddit``. 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 he shown one or more
"tokens", which should be added to your configuration file.
