yeah, it's missing the ability to grab oauth tokens from gif urls but the user urls are able to get them.

I don't know what i'm doing.. i'm going to copy and paste and hope for the best. 🤞

It's going to need an updated bearer token now, even if we embed the current one, it'll expire next week. I've got a PR ready as a fix for this, but not sure what to do about the bearer.

That's good to know. Thanks for the info.
I initially just used the current token as authorization header (e974c75) and hoped it wouldn't get updated all that often.
With commit ed55bd3 it now fetches the token from the redgifs website, similar to yt-dlp, and caches it for one hour.

Thanks for the fix!
