gallery-dl VS PixivUtil2

If you want to grab all the images and videos take a look at gallery-dl, found here https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

My question is about the docs. Here is the link to gallery-dl on github. from what i see it's kept up-to-date. I'm trying to download a post from ig through any method. Also thinking of creating a configuration-file if necessary. My OS: windows 10, i have worked with a cli before but on linux and my knowledge is very superficial. I have managed to use this tool on other websites like pinterest but can't think of any solutions for instagram as of now. The errors i get are about using the authentication method and when trying to set the cookies-from-browser option.

I could set up a redirect to the '/raw/' pages but then the syntax highlighting is gone.

The same page is perfectly viewable over plain html on gothub[2] though.

Github also seems to be hiding their "Assets" (binaries et al) on the "/releases" page for some projects behind javascript(especially older versions).[3] Something else that wasn't the case about ~1.5 years ago.

Would be great if gothub could unshackle the links to those as well[4], but that appears to not be working at the moment[5] .

This project appears to be a more performant(measurably so), more privacy friendly(as Microsoft won't have a record of your interest in certain projects) alternative front-end for "non logged in" github users.

I like it, but it still needs work.

since it's primarily a picture/video platform, you can use gallery-dl to scrape the feeds you want to follow if you provide authentication, and you should be able to write the captions and stuff to metadata files, but not sure how you'd display it in a useful way.

you could use gallery-dl to do this as well.

gallery-dl (CLI based) focuses on images.

Maybe there is a way to set specific configs only for reddit gallery images, but I'm not sure how it works. Gallery-dl's documentation did not help me, and I also tried to find information from the source code.

You can try image scraping with something like gallery-dl or grabber. I use grabber for stuff off of booru style sites (anime weeb shit), and grabber for everything else. The challenge with these tools is:

I had the same problem, worked using cookies to log in https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/wiki

Pixiv-Util2

you can use this useful software

That said, it's worth noting that there's already some tools available that can download Pixiv images in bulk. I personally use PixivUtil2 to do it, and I know gallery-dl supports it as well. Both take Pixiv's rate limits into account when downloading images so you should have no problems with them at all.

This post points to Nandaka, which I've used in the past. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/kmn7vj/good_downloader_for_pixiv_accounts. https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2

https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2 I think most of you know this link and have probably seen this question multiple times. But the replies on the posts are not available currently when I checked. So, please can anyone tell me how to set this up. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded all of them via this program. Nandaka (the pixiv guy) also has nijie downloader if you want it but I've never gotten it to work.

just use PixivUtil2 instead. The configuration might be a pain in the arse (especially to a n00bie) but if you persevere you'll save a lot of time. I'm a heavy user so usually, I'll just run a few instances of it over the night and when it's done it's done. I do not see a need to struggle with the web app.
