Downloaded images from vk.com are blurred

[photologist]

Tried to download images from this vk.com profile (nsfw) and they were all blurred...

I can right+click on individual images and download them w/out the blur.

Here's a sample url for an individual image from the previously linked profile...

fullsize https://sun6-20.userapi.com/dwZBZfHK80GDEqLBNrFkQ7_vkJqzPYozqgBzRw/Q8GeTduRtKc.jpg
which should delete any /impf/ or /impg/ and the rest start from "?" to the end

             try:
                 photo["url"] = photo[size + "src"]
             except KeyError:
                 self.log.warning("no photo URL found (%s)", photo.get("id"))
                 continue

            try:
                photo_url = photo[size + "src"]
                # Remove "impf" or "impg" from the URL
                photo_url = photo_url.replace("/impf/", "/").replace("/impg/", "/")
                
                # Remove anything after "?"
                photo_url = photo_url.split('?')[0]
                
                photo["url"] = photo_url
            except KeyError:
                self.log.warning("no photo URL found (%s)", photo.get("id"))
                continue

it will work

one thing about this is that impf/impg not only blurred image have in their url, normal photos also have them, when you open a photo and then click on Open Original the opened urls often have impf/impg. I haven't done an exhausting test in this but if you download that image and then the image without impf the downloaded images are not 1:1, I don't know which one is the actual original file but I do know that (I think this is also often and not always happens) the impf version is bigger in size and has last-modified headers, using dsim and other tools show that the images are not the same so either both are not the original image, one of them is, or one of them is more compressed than the other, either way, removing impf from the url should not be done lightly, maybe you have more info about this in which case I would like to know because so far I've been saving the images that "Open Original" directed me to. I'm saying all of this after downloading ~3K photos manually (without using gallery-dl or any other tool than my browser)
