- allow instances to specify their own 'category'
- improve config lookup:
- first look into extractor.<category>.*
- and afterwards look into extractor.mastodon.<instance>.*
- add a default entry for pawoo.net in a way that actually works
- add an 'instance' keyword and turn 'tags' into a usable list
The former implementation would produce a complete list of all subalbums
for each (sub)album extraction. This would for example result in a
level 2 subalbum getting "extracted" twice: once through the root-album
(level 0) and once through its parent album on level 1.
In the current implementation only the next level of subalbums are
returned, which themselves will handle their next level in a recursive
fashion.
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.
Using the same base-dict for each asset of a project causes unwanted
side effects like re-using image filename extensions for videos,
resulting in errors with the youtube-dl downloader.
... via HTTP Basic Auth with username and "password".
The password value in this case is not the account password itself,
but the"api_key" found in your user profile.
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.
