[Deviantart] Deviantart update: Gallery-dl only download single image from post with multiple images

[defaultd3f4lt]

Now that my previous issue is resolved i can suggest update for deviantart scrapper.

Recently Deviantart implements a new feature that allowing users to upload up to 10 images in a single post, however gallery-dl currently only download the first image on the post and moves on to the next posts. it still can download the other images by copying the rest of image's links however it would be hassle to manually copying each one of them.

IOW, you're saying it's a site change...

Example post: https://www.deviantart.com/justatest235723/art/1133021832

edit: The OAuth API does not seem to support this and returns only the first file.

[defaultd3f4lt]

ah i see, so for now theres nothing we can do about it unless DA update/adding this support to the OAuth API?

[mikf]

... or I finally rewrite and update most DA code to use the "new" API:

interesting, let me know when this branch merged with the main one

It's worth noting that the download button on DA's page does not even download the different images.
You can switch to the different images, but the download button still only downloads the first pic 🤔

Wow Deviantart is just absolutely useless, do that have only one dev or something?

it's worth to mention that in Deviantart Mobile App (that they haven't updated for a YEAR) also only shows the first image and not the rest, so seems like its more on their side's fault.

alternatively if you still want to use gallery-dl to download those multiple image posts for the time being, i have made some work around for it:

1. first set the image views to column, then copy all the image links into notepad / TXT file, then save and name it into whatever you want (example: test.txt)
2. then use this command on your terminal: gallery-dl -i "your_txt_file_name.txt" -D ".../deviantart/artist_name"

note: remember each time you want to download new set of multiple images from a post, you have to manually copy and paste the new image links to the txt file (and don't forget to remove the previous links inside it), also don't forget the path to save the images on the option -D and match the artist_name with the one you want to download.

Do you have a general idea of when gallery-dl will finally be compatible with this site feature?

For me, paying him usually gets it done faster

For about a year I was sending $30 CAD a month and that got my asks resolved pretty quick

[fredinno]

Ah.

I mean, this feature seems pretty universally desired.

I guess I will have to wait, since I don't really have the cash.

I was a bit of a dick to you earlier (though asking for an ETA when you're not paying is, IMO, a bit rude). And since I also need this...

@mikf, I don't suppose I could get one last thing bumped to the top of the queue?

in the meantime, you can try this workaround i have been using @fredinno

Unfortunately, this workaround doesn't grab the full-sized images.
