I've tried both chrome and firefox cookies.txt extensions, 3 different forks, logging out and back in countless times on both Chrome and Firefox.

I am unable to reproduce in my side. Please check the cookies file you are using.

The session and _pk_id in the cookies are required to perform this operation.

[HHargrave]

I go into storage on browser and all it's giving me is ddg1 and sessioncookies? How to force it to generate _pk_id?

Sorry if dumb question.

[Ovear]

_pk_id usually generated by cdn server of Kemono.

But I tried to reperform this operation by only with session cookie, it also works.

Adjusting uset-agent to the browser you are using may help?

[HHargrave]

_pk_id usually generated by cdn server of Kemono.

I went on a bunch of pages and opened images in full res trying to use the cdn server (If that's how that works) but still nothing except those two

Adjusting uset-agent to the browser you are using may help?

How do you mean?

[Ovear]

Oh, I forgot user-agent switch function has not been implemented yet.

Can you open https://kemono.party/api/favorites?type=artist in the browser that you are using to export cookies to see if still get 401 Unauthorized error?

[HHargrave]

That works, shows me the JSON contents

[Ovear]

Hmm, that's weried.

I have added an extra log that outputs the cookie that kemono-dl loaded. Please try https://github.com/ovear/kemono-dl/tree/cookie_log and see if all cookies, especially session, are loaded.

Please also make sure the loaded cookies are same as that in the file(and browser).

All it says with the Firefox "Cookies.txt" extension

The Chrome cookies are better

Session cookie value is identical to one shown on browser

[HHargrave]

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

# This is a generated file!  Do not edit.

.kemono.party   TRUE    /   FALSE   1716227850  __ddg1_ value
www.kemono.party    FALSE   /   FALSE   1687286671  session value

Also posting a censored copy of my cookies.txt in case something is just obviously wrong with the export

[Ovear]

Oh, gotcha. Please login kemono with https://kemono.party, not www one, and then export cookie again should work.

In this case, you may also edit cookies.txt to change www.kemono.party to kemono.party

[HHargrave]

Oh, my bad, works now. Sorry if it says somewhere to do that >.<

Thank you!

[Ovear]

This issue should be improved in the latest version. It will convert cookie domain automatically now.
