I believe that this is not a platform-specific error as I could reproduce this on my laptop with Windows 10 and Anaconda3 installed.

Besides, the Patreon extractor is also unusable for free contents(without session_id set):

had you tried to install pyOpenSSL?
pip3 pyopenssl
It might solve your problem.

[Aster-the-Med-Stu]

@ucok66 Er... Both on my Ubuntu server and Anaconda in Windows have pyopenssl installed.

And could you kindly test downloading something from Patreon on your machine?

Hm... everything works just fine on my machine.

Are you log in with username and password or session-id?

currently, you can only download your exclusives with your session-id.

The 403: Forbidden error comes from a Cloudflare CAPTCHA page. More infos here: #227 (comment).

This was technically already fixed in 56c7a66, and 84f4d3b makes it work even without pyOpenSSL installed. Get version 1.9.0, which was released an hour ago, and accessing Patreon should work (again).

[Aster-the-Med-Stu]

Thanks, it works!

This problem seems to be back...

> gallery-dl --version
1.12.3

Windows 10 64 bit, with pyopenssl and/or cryptography, upgraded all the dependencies to latest as well (requests etc.)

What's your Python version? You need Python 3.7.4 or higher on Windows.

See #508 (comment)

[harvimt]

yep that's it I was on 3.7.2 and upgraded to 3.8.0 and that fixed it.
