How do I download a VSCO profile picture?

[lazytownfan]

According to #5341, gallery-dl should be able to download profile pictures of VSCO after May 2nd.

However, I'm not sure how to do this. Are there some flags that I didn't see when I used gallery-dl -h?

You need to use https://vsco.co/USER/avatar as input URL:

$ gallery-dl https://vsco.co/vsco/avatar
vsco/vsco/652d9f3b39a6007526dda683.jpg

There's now an include option for VSCO (095f278), so you could also do

gallery-dl -o include=avatar https://vsco.co/vsco

Thank you! I'm still getting used to gallery-dl. I previously used vsco-scraper, but it's still on API version 2 and it's basically not functioning anymore now that VSCO has API version 3.

(I happened to randomly stumble upon some GH issues over there that mentioned gallery-dl.)
