I hope this is possible. If you can, make it download the original image instead of the view. Ex gallery (https://e-hentai.org/g/820791/a90c4b9af1)

But it already is? Gallery links, like the one you posted above, should already work, as far as I know.

gallery-dl/gallery_dl/extractor/exhentai.py

Line 20 in f837ea9

BASE_PATTERN = r"(?:https?://)?(e[x-]|g\.e-)hentai\.org"

[ghost]

Ohh, I don't know those are the same website, and yeah the extractor is working fine. But for some reason, I can't use gallery-dl to download the original images from the gallery, although I still can download the original image manually. Is there a workaround for this problem?

[mikf]

You can only download originals if you are logged in.

Either set a username and password, or your cookies, including igneous, like here:

gallery-dl/docs/gallery-dl-example.conf

Lines 54 to 58 in e30ada1

	"cookies":
	{
	"ipb_member_id": "12345",
	"ipb_pass_hash": "1234567890abcdef"
	},

@ucok66 Did you manage to login and download original images? Can this issue be closed?

[ghost]

I can log in with:

{
    "extractor":
    {
        "exhentai":
        {
            "username": "username",
            "password": "password"
        }
    }
}

and

{
    "extractor":
    {
        "exhentai":
        {
            "cookies":
            {
                "ipb_member_id": "12345",
                "ipb_pass_hash": "1234567890abcdef"
            },
        }
    }
}

But, the problem is I can't download the original images. I allways got this messege everytime I login.

[exhentai][info] sadpanda.jpg
[exhentai][error] You do not have permission to access the resource at 'https://e-hentai.org/g/1422372/a69986bd68/'

Is there a step that I miss?

[Hrxn]

Wait, do you use cookies and username & password at the same time?

[ghost]

It's separate configuration. Not at the same time.

[Hrxn]

If I recall correctly, [exhentai][info] sadpanda.jpg indicates some issue with your account. Like wrong credentials, temporary restrictions, IP bans or something.

Maybe try checking with the site in your browser. Could be caused by alternating between configs with different access methods like you seem to do here..

[ghost]

Hmm, I can log in to my account, I can download the original images manually, and so far there is no sign of error. Maybe I am going to look deeper what causes this, but in the meantime keep this issue open just in case

[mikf]

How old is your account? New accounts need to wait a couple of days/weeks before they are allowed to access exhentai, and gallery-dl does everything over exhentai.org, regardless of the original input URL.

Wait, do you use cookies and username & password at the same time?

That's fine. gallery-dl will just ignore username & password If the right cookies are set.

If I recall correctly, [exhentai][info] sadpanda.jpg indicates some issue with your account.

Yep, that means your account is not allowed to access exhentai at that point in time. If you try to access exhentai, but aren't allowed to for some reason (not logged in, account not old enough, etc), you'll get an image of a sad panda instead.

hmm, how old exactly you have to be able to download a gallery using gallery-dl?

[Bfgeshka]

You will not be able to download via gallery-dl until you can pass sad panda gate. I do not think that anybody knows for sure, but usually accout verification takes 2-4 weeks, if I recall correctly.

[ghost]

I already verify my account right after I sign up. Also, my account is almost a year old, that is more long enough than verification time

@Bfgeshka, if you able to download original images from exhentai.org, can you tell me how?

[Bfgeshka]

WDYM by "original images"?

[ghost]

Original image or source image, the non-downscale image that usually the bottom of the page of the gallery that writes "Download original 3624 x 4812 1.71 MB source."

[mikf]

I think you need to visit exhentai.org in your browser at least once while being logged into e-hentai.org to make this work. Your account is definitely old enough.

If you get a picture of a sad panda:

• Delete all cookies for e-hentai.org, exhentai.org, forums.e-hentai.org
• Log into e-hentai.org
• Go to exhentai.org and it should work this time

[ghost]

hmm, I already deleted:

• e-hentai.org
• forums.e-hentai.org
• upload.e-hentai.org
• exhentai.org

But, I still get that sadpanda.jpg

[mikf]

The exhentai extractor now uses e-hentai.org as base if the input URL also came from there, so you should be able to download originals when you are logged in.

It is still weird you can't access exhentai with your account. You are probably doing "something" wrong ...

[ghost]

Yeah, I still don't know what is going on how people can download from https://exhentai.org, but it is working now. Thanks for the fix
