Help with command

[shinkiro25]

Hello Can you please help writing the command for downloading from https://www.patreon.com/AlyxiaAI and putting it into Z:\Patreon\AlyxiaAI while getting only zip attachments and skipping existing files

[shinkiro25]

Can you please take a look at my question?

Update to v2.0.0. This will allow you to download only ZIP attachments (through attachments.by.filename config option).

Here's a config file - note I have not tested this because I do not have a subscription to the Patreon you linked:

[downloader]
target.url = "https://www.patreon.com/AlyxiaAI/posts"
cookie = "Place your cookie here"

[output]
out.dir = "Z:\Patreon\AlyxiaAI"

[include]
# Only download posts that contain attachments
posts.with.media.type = attachment

# Only download attachments
content.media = attachment

# Only download ZIP attachments
attachments.by.filename = *.zip

[logger.console]
enabled = 1

Save the above in a file, say "Z:\Patreon\AlyxiaAI.conf", then run:

patreon-dl -C Z:\Patreon\AlyxiaAI.conf

Hi again,

I'm getting this error "post is not viewable by current user" despite being subscribed to the the creator Alyxia I input the cookie in the conf file using the "copy cookies" chrome extension

Do I need to get it in a different format or perhaps put it into the file without the " "

Can you please tell how you get the cookie for the creator if you know of another method ?

Also, how do I skip zip files which are already downloaded?

The guide is in the README!

https://github.com/patrickkfkan/patreon-dl/wiki/How-to-obtain-Cookie

Also, how do I skip zip files which are already downloaded?

Files downloaded will be skipped next time you run the program.

Thank you, it works now. But I have one more question, is it possible to download after a certain date using "postsPublished"

For example, is this syntax correct "postsPublished = after 22.09.2024" ?

[patrickkfkan]

Under [include], add:

posts.published.after = 2024-09-22

Not part of this issue, but can I just ask, as it does not seem clear elsewhere, are .zip files downloaded if any flag is set? Or do they have to be specifically set?

Thanks,

[patrickkfkan]

attachments.by.filename = *.zip

This means for attachments, download only ZIP files.

If you omit this setting, then all types of attachment will be downloaded. Do NOT specify any for attachments.by.filename, as this will mean download only when the filename matches any.
