[deviantart] can't download galleries anymore, worked fine when i first got it

[Shadow-night45]

in the last couple of days, i could not download galleries from deviantart anymore, when I first got gallery-dl over a week ago, I was able to download galleries from deviantart just fine, only recently I could not do that anymore and kept getting this

[deviantart][warning] API responded with 429 Too Many Requests. Using (number)s delay.

i even waited like 30 minutes on a gallery for a single image to get downloaded but nothing, just kept showing that,

other sites that gallery-dl support it downloads just fine but not for deviantart recently, I've been trying to figure out how to fix this but can't find a solution, either there is a fix to this and I'm just blind to see it because I don't understand this program/coding stuff, or is something on deviantart end that is causing it or a recent update with gallery-dl caused something

I would like some help with this please

Are you using your own OAuth credentials? I can't tell, you did not provide a verbose log.

i don't know what that is nor do I know how to work with that and what is a verbose log?

do you mean this for a verbose log? (the gallery that I'm downloading is an example of the problem I'm having)

Almost. Verbose log means you also include the --verbose flag (or the -v short form).

But it's already obvious that you are using the built-in default credentials, which are well beyond limit already, it seems.

You need your own tokens to access the API again reliably: https://gdl-org.github.io/docs/configuration.html#api-tokens-ids

ok I think I did all the steps in the link your provided for deviantart but I'm still getting the errors, still cant download stuff

and I'm not understanding this "verbose log"

[Hrxn]

The output of gallery-dl --verbose <YOUR URL HERE>

Also, please don't post screenshots or something, just paste the text output here. Fenced between triple backticks:

Three ` characters
<YOUR LOG>
Three ` characters

[Shadow-night45]

im still not understanding, because i dont understand coding stuff, all i want to do is try and fix this downloading issue with deviantart

[Hrxn]

Then you probably did the steps you said you did wrong..

[Shadow-night45]

i dont know what i did wrong, I'm trying to get help with this because I cant figure this out on my own

all that It keeps doing is asking about (Register your own OAuth application and use its credentials to prevent this error:) then just spams (API responded with 429 Too Many Requests)

[Hrxn]

Paste the relevant part of your config here (redact the tokens). Or the entire config.

I followed everything on the configuration from this https://gdl-org.github.io/docs/configuration.html#api-tokens-ids

the only part I'm confused on is (get a new refresh-token for the new client-id (gallery-dl oauth:deviantart)

when I do that is brings me to a new tab that says

[Your 'refresh-token' is

(the numbers and letters that I wont say)

This value has been cached and will automatically be used.]

after that I still try to do the (gallery-dl [the link of the person gallery] )

which keeps giving me what I said at the beginning

Okay, here's an entire config file for DeviantArt, you can copy this and use it as a starting point for your own customizations:

You need to replace "client-id", "client-secret", and "refresh-token" with your own values and you're ready to go.

You need to replace "client-id", "client-secret", and "refresh-token" with your own values and you're ready to go.

where would I put this because I'm using notepad for the editing of this? https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/gallery-dl.conf but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put it after downloading it?

and is the client-id 5-digit numbers and the client-secret 30+ digit with numbers and letters?

and is the refresh-token the one that I get from the new tab?, the one that says

(Your 'refresh-token' is

(REDACTED)

This value has been cached and will automatically be used.)

because I don't want to screw something up and end up going back to square one

[Hrxn]

Here are the config locations:

https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl#locations

Just create one (!) file in whichever location you prefer for your config file, you can do this with notepad, or notepad++ or something.

And yes, that token from the new tab is the "refresh-token" you'll need.
