4 years ago I can confirm that problem and the given solution.
### AND I even have a workaround for the lazy ppl ;P
As a programmer we say "programmers are lazy". So my first guess was that it even without an update should be possible to log in again.
If we take a look at the file "/Entity/DanbooruProvider.cs"
string authString = "login=" + this.UserName + "&password_hash=" + hash;
queryStr = queryStr + "&" + authString;We will see why ;)
We now have 3 Solutions:
- Wait for for an official update
- Update the string maybe add a new variable for the api-key by yourself and compile the program.
- For the lazy ppl a workaround:
- change the content in your "UserName" box so it looks like this: Username&api_key=your_api_key (simply add "&api_key=your_api_key" after your username and your good to go. REMEBER: You still need to select "LoginType" = UserPass!)
*The API KEY can be created under https://danbooru.donmai.us/profile" and under the TAB "API Key - View"
Been getting AuthenticationFaliure errors for the past few hours but I found out why. Danbooru changed it so you now need an API Key to login and authenticate. Hope you will be updating the downloader for their update. The ReadMe instructs how to do cookies for other sites but not for Danbooru, so I do not know how to set it.
Said API Change: Removed the ability to authenticate using the login and password_hash params. If you were using this method you should generate an API key and use login and api_key instead.
