Description

It seems that there is no application executable downloading the latest master version, so I can't really run the code using windows terminal. Is there a solution to that besides trying to run it using python?

This is the newest release version with executable. pixivutil202305.zip

You can find it in the release page, and find assets at the bottom, you'll find the executable zip file. https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/releases/latest

Do you have Python installed?

[Nandaka]

also do you have another PC to test, it shouldn't require Python. After extracting and running PixivUtil2.exe it will load console window and it will ask for username/password, but won't work due to login changes in pixiv and you need add the cookie values (see readme.txt)

Did you use cookie login as said above?

Go to config.ini, open with notepad. At the top change UserAgent to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0 If it doesn't work try Mozilla/5.0
