Pagination over popular listings (`date:...+order:popular") never
terminates, not even on the site itself, and at some point returns the
same results over and over again.
Images are now randomly served from the 'live.staticflickr.com' domain
instead of the "old" 'farmN.staticflickr.com' one, making it impossible
to use static 'url' and 'keyword' hashes as results.
Image quality doesn't appear to be effected by which image-server is
used. Files from 'farmN' and 'live' are the same.
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.
'hash' is the middle part of the filename in a tumblr image URL.
For example an image with '.../tumblr_p6tgemp1NZ1wgha4yo1_250.png' as
its URL would have 'p6tgemp1NZ1wgha4yo1' as hash.
... to behave in a more straightforward way when dealing with
bookmarks/favourites/etc.
specific IDs are now grouped by their owner, album-id, ... to
allow for duplicates when it would be expected.
the 'skip' config option controls skipping behavior:
true - skip download if file already exist (default)
false - download and overwrite files even if it exists
"abort" - abort extractor run if a download would be skipped
(same as '--abort-on-skip')
