Trouble extracting from Pixiv

[OvertPerson]

When I tried to extract from Pixiv, I get this:

[pixiv][info] Logging in as None [pixiv][error] AuthenticationError: Invalid or missing login credentials

I put in my login details at .conf file but still get this.

[biznizz]

Is your conf properly parsed with the proper commas and quote marks? It looks like this?

"pixiv":
        {
            "username": "USER",
            "password": "PASS",
            "ugoira": true
        },

Yes, but i still get the problem

Are gallery-dl and its dependencies up-to-date?

Run pip list --outdated to see if anything like setuptools is out of date, that might be the issue.

Because I can confirm that Pixiv is still working properly on my end with everything on my end up to date.

EDIT: Also, just have to ask. Is the .conf file in the proper location where it's supposed to be, in %USERPROFILE%?

[mikf]

[pixiv][info] Logging in as None means it didn't find any username (None <-> nothing).

Where exactly is your config file located? Because, as @biznizz noted, it might not be at the right place for gallery-dl to automatically find it (see Configuration)

[OvertPerson]

It is located in %USERPROFILE%/gallery-dl.conf and everything is up to date, but still have issues.

Check %APPDATA%\gallery-dl for config.json and try editing that one. That's where it was located for me.

I'll also add that I tried it here and it works for me with credentials set in the file at that location.

[OvertPerson]

I don't have one in %APPDATA% and when I tried to have one there, it still doesn't work

So... you DO have a gallery-dl.conf in %USERPROFILE% and you say your extractor settings are properly put in?

Okay, this is just a few things to eliminate possibilities:

Is the file an actual .conf file? It could be a text file that might SAY it's gallery-dl.conf, but it could actually be gallery-dl.conf.txt.

Are you still getting any errors if you use this input in the CMD window: $ gallery-dl -u <username> -p <password> URL

Are you having any issues with configuration with any of the other supported websites?

[OvertPerson]

It is an actual .conf file and I still get errors with $ gallery-dl -u

-p URL. If a website does not work with gallery-dl "URL" then it doesn't work at all On Sat, Jul 11, 2020 at 1:59 AM biznizz wrote: > So... you DO have a gallery-dl.conf in %USERPROFILE% and you say your > extractor settings are properly put in? > > Okay, this is just a few things to eliminate possibilities: > > Is the file an actual .conf file?

Alright, I can confirm that using the -u/--username & -p/--password and the -o/--option separately seems to be broken. Temporarily changing the conf name and using either command and then using valid conf name but removing valid credentials and running either command resulted in The system cannot find the file specified. error.

Restoring my Pixiv credentials and running gallery-dl (PIXIV URL) worked like normal.

Okay, I'm going to ask for a bit of work: Can you make a copy of all the information in your conf file, while MAKING SURE TO CENSOR YOUR CREDENTIALS WITH ASTERISKS, into a text file and upload it here for an experiment?

Also, can you confirm that the credentials you are using are valid, as in you can log out and log back in into Pixiv without issue?

@OvertPerson

Okay, I copied your configuration, moved my personal config file to a safe location, and made a new one with all your set up save for using my own personal username and password for Pixiv.

My test run downloaded the gallery into the specified location in base-directory, .gallery-dl, and ran with zero issues. Redacted info in the picture, but compare to your configuration.

The issue seems like it can only be your Pixiv login credentials. As mentioned, please confirm your credentials are valid by logging off/on onto the site itself.

Use your Pixiv ID, not your email, as your username in the conf. And if it is a .conf file and not a .json, then make sure it's in %USERPROFILE%, or C:\Users\USERPROFILE.

Other than that, I don't know what else it could possibly be.

FINAL EDIT: Can you confirm if you have a cache file as described here in configuration? https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/configuration.rst#cache-file

I just noticed that Pixiv credentials are stored there, if you have one, delete it and try making a new one with confirmed valid Pixiv values.

[biznizz]

So, were you able to download from Pixiv, or are you still having issues?

[OvertPerson]

it work

Cool, glad everything's working now,

Don't forget to close the issue now that it's resolved.
