[Q] [e621] problem '401 Unauthorized' #1593

Closed rod-giovany closed 3 years ago

rod-giovany commented 3 years ago

I can't use username & password, it sends me '401 Unauthorized'.

what is the problem?

Can confirm, changed my password so it would at least let me get past the 500 error, and it gives me 401 Unauthorized as well.

EDIT: bah! Turns out the password must be your API key. Then it works just fine.

Note: The password value for danbooru and e621 should be the API key found in your user profile, not the actual account password.

from https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/configuration.rst#extractorusername--password

Granted it's easy to miss and the option should probably be called api-key instead of password, but all other sites use username and password for login credentials so I just used the same here.

@mikf I'll admit I just skimmed over https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl#username--password for this one, lazy as I was :p

How come I did not notice this information of great importance. lol

Note: The password value for danbooru and e621 should be the API key found in your user profile, **not the actual account password**.

@mikf, I think if you should create a special section for danbooru and e621 type; https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/configuration.rst#extractor-specific-options
