[pinterest] image is being downloaded instead of the video

[an1220]

Not all of them but some of the pinterest videos are not being downloaded. Although "--list-keywords" gives video url, image is being downloaded instead.

for example:

gallery-dl -v -c "./data/config.json" https://www.pinterest.com/pin/63824519713049795/

I also have this issue. if it is an indivual link you can use yt-dlp to get it but if it is an entire pinterest board I don't know how to get around it.

here is an example URL https://www.pinterest.com/pin/701154235769231213/ it is part of the gallery https://www.pinterest.com/jeansandheels/. If the above link is run in gallery-dl it will download as an image and not a video. yt-dlp will download it as a video

for me even many videos don't download like pinterest.com/pin/973551644440813234/
