Does the pixiv part support cookies login? #597

Tried with --cookies= option, but seemed unable to login with PHPSESSION.

Well, Pixiv requires authentication (with username & password), so I don't know what you are trying to do here in the first place?

Is there anything not working with your attempts at using the Pixiv extractor?

CAPTCHA

mikf commented 4 years ago

The way gallery-dl logs into Pixiv doesn't involve any Captchas. It uses the App API and OAuth, not the regular Pixiv login page. Did you actually try logging in with username & password through -u and -p?

And to answer your initial question: No, you can't use cookies to authenticate with Pixiv.
