Configuration ############# | Configuration files for *gallery-dl* use a JSON-based file format. | For a (more or less) complete example with options set to their default values, see `gallery-dl.conf `__. | For a configuration file example with more involved settings and options, see `gallery-dl-example.conf `__. | This file lists all available configuration options and their descriptions. Contents ======== 1) `Extractor Options`_ 2) `Extractor-specific Options`_ 3) `Downloader Options`_ 4) `Output Options`_ 5) `Postprocessor Options`_ 6) `Miscellaneous Options`_ 7) `API Tokens & IDs`_ Extractor Options ================= Each extractor is identified by its ``category`` and ``subcategory``. The ``category`` is the lowercase site name without any spaces or special characters, which is usually just the module name (``pixiv``, ``danbooru``, ...). The ``subcategory`` is a lowercase word describing the general functionality of that extractor (``user``, ``favorite``, ``manga``, ...). Each one of the following options can be specified on multiple levels of the configuration tree: ================== ======= Base level: ``extractor.`` Category level: ``extractor..`` Subcategory level: ``extractor...`` ================== ======= A value in a "deeper" level hereby overrides a value of the same name on a lower level. Setting the ``extractor.pixiv.filename`` value, for example, lets you specify a general filename pattern for all the different pixiv extractors. Using the ``extractor.pixiv.user.filename`` value lets you override this general pattern specifically for ``PixivUserExtractor`` instances. The ``category`` and ``subcategory`` of all extractors are included in the output of ``gallery-dl --list-extractors``. For a specific URL these values can also be determined by using the ``-K``/``--list-keywords`` command-line option (see the example below). extractor.*.filename -------------------- Type ``string`` Example ``"{manga}_c{chapter}_{page:>03}.{extension}"`` Description A `format string`_ to build the resulting filename for a downloaded file. The available replacement keys depend on the extractor used. A list of keys for a specific one can be acquired by calling *gallery-dl* with the ``-K``/``--list-keywords`` command-line option. For example: .. code:: $ gallery-dl -K http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im5977527 Keywords for directory names: ----------------------------- category seiga subcategory image Keywords for filenames: ----------------------- category seiga extension None image-id 5977527 subcategory image Note: Even if the value of the ``extension`` key is missing or ``None``, it will be filled in later when the file download is starting. This key is therefore always available to provide a valid filename extension. extractor.*.directory --------------------- Type ``list`` of ``strings`` Example ``["{category}", "{manga}", "c{chapter} - {title}"]`` Description A list of `format strings`_ for the resulting target directory. Each individual string in such a list represents a single path segment, which will be joined together and appended to the base-directory_ to form the complete target directory path. extractor.*.base-directory -------------------------- Type |Path|_ Default ``"./gallery-dl/"`` Description Directory path used as base for all download destinations. extractor.*.parent-directory ---------------------------- Type ``bool`` Default ``false`` Description Use an extractor's current target directory as `base-directory `__ for any spawned child extractors. extractor.*.path-restrict ------------------------- Type ``string`` or ``object`` Default ``"auto"`` Example * ``"/!? (){}"`` * ``{" ": "_", "/": "-", "|": "-", ":": "-", "*": "+"}`` Description | A string of characters to be replaced with the value of `path-replace `__ | or an object mapping invalid/unwanted characters to their replacements | for generated path segment names. Special values: * ``"auto"``: Use characters from ``"unix"`` or ``"windows"`` depending on the local operating system * ``"unix"``: ``"/"`` * ``"windows"``: ``"\\\\|/<>:\"?*"`` Note: In a string with 2 or more characters, ``[]^-\`` need to be escaped with backslashes, e.g. ``"\\[\\]"`` extractor.*.path-replace ------------------------ Type ``string`` Default ``"_"`` Description The replacement character(s) for `path-restrict `__ extractor.*.path-remove ----------------------- Type ``string`` Default ``"\u0000-\u001f\u007f"`` (ASCII control characters) Description Set of characters to remove from generated path names. Note: In a string with 2 or more characters, ``[]^-\`` need to be escaped with backslashes, e.g. ``"\\[\\]"`` extractor.*.extension-map ------------------------- Type ``object`` Default .. code:: json { "jpeg": "jpg", "jpe" : "jpg", "jfif": "jpg", "jif" : "jpg", "jfi" : "jpg" } Description A JSON ``object`` mapping filename extensions to their replacements. extractor.*.skip ---------------- Type ``bool`` or ``string`` Default ``true`` Description Controls the behavior when downloading files that have been downloaded before, i.e. a file with the same filename already exists or its ID is in a `download archive `__. * ``true``: Skip downloads * ``false``: Overwrite already existing files * ``"abort"``: Abort the current extractor run * ``"abort:N"``: Skip downloads and abort extractor run after ``N`` consecutive skips * ``"exit"``: Exit the program altogether * ``"exit:N"``: Skip downloads and exit the program after ``N`` consecutive skips * ``"enumerate"``: Add an enumeration index to the beginning of the filename extension (``file.1.ext``, ``file.2.ext``, etc.) extractor.*.sleep ----------------- Type ``float`` Default ``0`` Description Number of seconds to sleep before each download. extractor.*.sleep-extractor --------------------------- Type ``float`` Default ``0`` Description Number of seconds to sleep before handling an input URL, i.e. before starting a new extractor. extractor.*.sleep-request ------------------------- Type ``float`` Default ``0`` Description Minimal time interval in seconds between each HTTP request during data extraction. extractor.*.username & .password -------------------------------- Type ``string`` Default ``null`` Description The username and password to use when attempting to log in to another site. Specifying a username and password is required for * ``pixiv`` * ``nijie`` * ``seiga`` and optional for * ``aryion`` * ``danbooru`` * ``e621`` * ``exhentai`` * ``idolcomplex`` * ``inkbunny`` * ``instagram`` * ``luscious`` * ``pinterest`` * ``sankaku`` * ``subscribestar`` * ``tsumino`` * ``twitter`` These values can also be specified via the ``-u/--username`` and ``-p/--password`` command-line options or by using a |.netrc|_ file. (see Authentication_) Note: The password value for ``danbooru`` and ``e621`` should be the API key found in your user profile, not the actual account password. extractor.*.netrc ----------------- Type ``bool`` Default ``false`` Description Enable the use of |.netrc|_ authentication data. extractor.*.cookies ------------------- Type |Path|_ or ``object`` Default ``null`` Description Source to read additional cookies from. Either as * the |Path|_ to a Mozilla/Netscape format cookies.txt file or * a JSON ``object`` specifying cookies as a name-to-value mapping Example: .. code:: json { "cookie-name": "cookie-value", "sessionid" : "14313336321%3AsabDFvuASDnlpb%3A31", "isAdult" : "1" } extractor.*.cookies-update -------------------------- Type ``bool`` Default ``true`` Description If `extractor.*.cookies`_ specifies the |Path|_ to a cookies.txt file and it can be opened and parsed without errors, update its contents with cookies received during data extraction. extractor.*.proxy ----------------- Type ``string`` or ``object`` Default ``null`` Description Proxy (or proxies) to be used for remote connections. * If this is a ``string``, it is the proxy URL for all outgoing requests. * If this is an ``object``, it is a scheme-to-proxy mapping to specify different proxy URLs for each scheme. It is also possible to set a proxy for a specific host by using ``scheme://host`` as key. See `Requests' proxy documentation`_ for more details. Example: .. code:: json { "http" : "http://10.10.1.10:3128", "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080", "http://10.20.1.128": "http://10.10.1.10:5323" } Note: All proxy URLs should include a scheme, otherwise ``http://`` is assumed. extractor.*.user-agent ---------------------- Type ``string`` Default ``"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0"`` Description User-Agent header value to be used for HTTP requests.

Note: Any ``blacklist`` setting will automatically include ``"oauth"``, ``"recursive"``, and ``"test"``. extractor.*.archive ------------------- Type |Path|_ Default ``null`` Example ``"$HOME/.archives/{category}.sqlite3"`` Description File to store IDs of downloaded files in. Downloads of files already recorded in this archive file will be `skipped `__. The resulting archive file is not a plain text file but an SQLite3 database, as either lookup operations are significantly faster or memory requirements are significantly lower when the amount of stored IDs gets reasonably large. Note: archive paths support regular `format string`_ replacements, but be aware that using external inputs for building local paths may pose a security risk. extractor.*.archive-format -------------------------- Type ``string`` Example ``"{id}_{offset}"`` Description An alternative `format string`_ to build archive IDs with. extractor.*.postprocessors -------------------------- Type ``list`` of |Postprocessor Configuration|_ objects Example .. code:: json [ { "name": "zip" , "compression": "store" }, { "name": "exec", "command": ["/home/foobar/script", "{category}", "{image_id}"] } ] Description A list of `post processors `__ to be applied to each downloaded file in the specified order. | Unlike other options, a |postprocessors|_ setting at a deeper level does not override any |postprocessors|_ setting at a lower level. | Instead, all post processors from all applicable |postprocessors|_ settings get combined into a single list. For example * an ``mtime`` post processor at ``extractor.postprocessors``, * a ``zip`` post processor at ``extractor.pixiv.postprocessors``, * and using ``--exec`` will run all three post processors - ``mtime``, ``zip``, ``exec`` - for each downloaded ``pixiv`` file. extractor.*.retries ------------------- Type ``integer`` Default ``4`` Description Maximum number of times a failed HTTP request is retried before giving up, or ``-1`` for infinite retries. extractor.*.timeout ------------------- Type ``float`` Default ``30.0`` Description Amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a successful connection and response from a remote server. This value gets internally used as the |timeout|_ parameter for the |requests.request()|_ method. extractor.*.verify ------------------ Type ``bool`` or ``string`` Default ``true`` Description Controls whether to verify SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS requests. If this is a ``string``, it must be the path to a CA bundle to use instead of the default certificates. This value gets internally used as the |verify|_ parameter for the |requests.request()|_ method. extractor.*.download -------------------- Type ``bool`` Default ``true`` Description Controls whether to download media files. Setting this to ``false`` won't download any files, but all other functions (`postprocessors`_, `download archive`_, etc.) will be executed as normal. extractor.*.image-range ----------------------- Type ``string`` Example * ``"10-20"`` * ``"-5, 10, 30-50, 100-"`` Description Index-range(s) specifying which images to download. Note: The index of the first image is ``1``. extractor.*.chapter-range ------------------------- Type ``string`` Description Like `image-range `__, but applies to delegated URLs like manga-chapters, etc. extractor.*.image-filter ------------------------ Type ``string`` Example * ``"width >= 1200 and width/height > 1.2"`` * ``"re.search(r'foo(bar)+', description)"`` Description Python expression controlling which files to download. | Files for which the expression evaluates to ``False`` are ignored. | Available keys are the filename-specific ones listed by ``-K`` or ``-j``. extractor.*.chapter-filter -------------------------- Type ``string`` Example * ``"lang == 'en'"`` * ``"language == 'French' and 10 <= chapter < 20"`` Description Like `image-filter `__, but applies to delegated URLs like manga-chapters, etc. extractor.*.image-unique ------------------------ Type ``bool`` Default ``false`` Description Ignore image URLs that have been encountered before during the current extractor run. extractor.*.chapter-unique -------------------------- Type ``bool`` Default ``false`` Description Like `image-unique `__, but applies to delegated URLs like manga-chapters, etc. extractor.*.date-format ---------------------------- Type ``string`` Default ``"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"`` Description Format string used to parse ``string`` values of `date-min` and `date-max`.
