Don't test the whole kwdict, only the actual content, since the
keyword hash changes whenever that user changes his display name.

* [twitter] Fix stop before real end
Fix for https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/544. Makes sure that it really reached the end by checking that both "min_position" is null and "has_more_items" is false before stopping.
* [twitter] Fix stop before real end (update)
- update metadata structure
- combine all user… entries into their own dict
- let 'user' always specify the Timeline owner
- add 'author' entry that specifies the original Tweet author
- create directories per post (closes#491)
- fix username issues with /i/web/ URLs
This should allow video downloads when logged in without
'forward-cookies' disabled and from protected tweets.
youtube-dl still gets used to download HLS playlists, but the data
extraction part, which doesn't work with youtube-dl at the moment,
now gets handled by gallery-dl itself.
... for individual tweets.
To get a Tweet page with the old Twitter layout, an Internet
Explorer User-Agent (e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;
Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko) as well as a Referer header
pointing to the page itself is required. The "app_shell_visited"
cookie appears to be optional at the moment, but that is what
a regular web browser would send.
Adds the functionality to download search results on twitter.com/search. Since twitter only allows downloading of up to 3,200 of a users most recent tweets, you will be unable to download old images from users with a lot of tweets. To bypass this, you can use the twitter search to get the tweets from the sections in time you were stopped at. An example search would be "from:user since:2015-01-01 until:2016-01-01 filter:images". The URL you would use will look something like this https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=from%3Asupernaturepics%20since%3A2015-01-01%20until%3A2016-01-01%20filter%3Aimages&src=typd&lang=en
The _tweets_from_api function had to be changed because it would not get the next page of results using the last "data-tweet-id". It would return the same JSON but with a "min_position" string added. Using this string for the "max_position" param from the second page onwards correctly returned the next pages. This change does not interfere with how the other extractors work as far as I know. The 2 regex patterns in the extractors had to be changed to not match the search URL.
Some timelines would cause an endless loop because 'has_more_items' is
always True, even if it would return the same list of tweets over and
over again.
Instead of getting a complete 'filename' from an URL and splitting that
into 'name' and 'extension', the new approach gets rid of the complete
version and renames 'name' to 'filename'. (Using anything other than
{extension} for a filename extension doesn't really work anyway)
Example: "https://example.org/path/filename.ext"
before:
- filename : filename.ext
- name : filename
- extension: ext
now:
- filename : filename
- extension: ext
URLs starting with 'ytdl:' will now be handled by youtube-dl.
There is probably a lot to fix and improve, but the basic use case
works.
TODO:
- format selection and ytdl options in general
- better filename/path handling
- ytdl support for "unsupported URLs"
- ...
Enabling this option will detect videos in tweets and output them as
"unsupported" URLs, so that these can then be downloaded with youtube-dl
There are a lot of improvements to be made to the current
implementation, but it works and does what it is supposed to, even if
inefficient as can be ...
For example "https://twitter.com/PicturesEarth/media".
They are different from normal timelines in that they do not contain
any (re)tweets from other users and feature all media the user ever
posted, including responses to other tweets.
- rename User- to TimelineExtractor
- rename 'userid' to 'user_id' to conform to the other ..._id values
- adjust archive_fmt to deal with retweets
- emulate browser behavior for API calls
This commit mostly replaces all minus-signs ('-') in keyword names with
underscores ('_') to allow them to be used in filter-expressions. For
example 'gallery-id' got renamed to 'gallery_id'.
(It is theoretically possible to access any variable, regardless of its
name, with 'locals()["NAME"]', but that seems a bit too convoluted if
just 'NAME' could be enough)
