Unsupported URL error when logging in

[Someguy1519]

$ gallery-dl -u "username" -p "password" "https://x.com/" gallery-dl -o "username=username" -o "password=password" "https://x.com/" [gallery-dl][error] Unsupported URL 'https://x.com/' [gallery-dl][error] Unsupported URL 'https://x.com/'

Can't login to Twitter/X keep getting "Unsupported URL" error

You have to actually input a valid URL, like a post or user etc.

Now I'm getting this error when logging in. I'm pretty sure I entered everything correctly.

[twitter][error] AuthenticationError: "Sorry, we could not find your account."

That's the error you get when logging in with a name not recognized by Twitter, so you most likely entered the wrong name.

$ gallery-dl -u invalid~username x.com/potus
[twitter][info] Logging in as invalid~username
[twitter][error] AuthenticationError: "Sorry, we could not find your account."

[twitter][info] Logging in as invalid~username

I entered it correctly though. It still gives me the error.

Then try using cookies directly.

Trying to log into an existing account yields this, by the way:

$ gallery-dl -u john123 x.com/potus
[twitter][info] Logging in as john123
Alternate Identifier (username, email, phone number): ^C
KeyboardInterrupt

I was able to login and download the images I want. Only problem is I can't find the downloaded images anywhere. Where would they be If I downloaded them using Termux on Android?

In your current working directory. Run pwd and it should print its full path.

Thanks for the help. By the way would you be able to add support for Twitter gifs? Gallery-dl downloads them as mp4 files and they don't work at all.

You get a mp4 because that's what twitter offers, even if it says "gif" on the page it's an outright lie. It only means it was a gif when they uploaded before twitter converted it.

Therefor, the only way to get a gif is for you to convert it back, losing even more quality.
