Deviantart Scraps Downloader 403's randomly #655

sledgehammer93 · 2020-03-24T04:01:23Z

Hello again,
I appear to be having issues involving the scraps downloader of gallery-dl this time. It is now randomly crashing on different links set in my URL file, and then pulling 403 errors for the rest of my links. For example, the downloader will work perfectly fine for the first few URL's, only to show the following error (verbose output):

[deviantart][debug] 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/gallery_dl-1.13.3.dev0-py3.7.egg/gallery_dl/job.py", line 49, in run

It then continues to attempt to download from the various links set in my URL file, except it will 403 on every last one. I have my cookies file properly configured. Here is my gallery-dl.conf file:

I'm gonna piggyback on this topic instead of making my own since it's also related to the topic about scraps in config. I'm still not really good at writing JSON, so I was hoping for some assistance in being able to add scraps extractor to both my deviantart and furaffinity extractors in my config.

Here's what I have currently

 "deviantart":
         {
             "refresh-token": "secret",
             "client-id": "secret",
 			"client-secret": "secret",
 			"flat": true,
             "folders": false,
             "journals": "html",
             "mature": true,
             "metadata": false,
             "original": true,
 		    "quality": 100,
 		    "extra": true,
             "wait-min": 0,
 			"cookies": "C:\\Users\\blank\\cookies.txt",
 			"cookies-update": true

 "furaffinity": {
             "filename": "{filename}.{extension}",
             "cookies": {
                 "a": "secret",
                 "b": "secret"
             }
 		},

This isn't going to solve the underlying problem, but it should at least provide the server response when those errors happen.

@sledgehammer93 I suspect there is a hidden rate limit for the /extended_fetch endpoint that's used for fetching scraps, and you get 403 responses whenever that's reached. 1b82d36 makes it so it doesn't crash when a JSONDecodeError happens, and it'll print the server response as debug output. Could you try this out and post the error response here? (might be a complete HTML document)

@biznizz If you want to download scraps as well as the regular gallery when using user profile links as input, you can add "include": "gallery,scraps" to both your deviantart and furaffinity blocks
(see deviantart.include):

"deviantart":
{
    "include": "gallery,scraps",
    "...": "..."
},
"furaffinity":
{
    "include": "gallery,scraps",
    "...": "..."
},

or you just use two URLs per user, e.g. https://www.deviantart.com/USER/gallery/ and https://www.deviantart.com/USER/gallery/scraps, instead of https://www.deviantart.com/USER

This is the output that I have just received (some sensitive data has been blocked, if that matters, just let me know) It occurs on random URL's for me.:

That worked, now I can rip main and scraps galleries with only one command run, thank you!

By-the-by, what is this extended_fetch deal anyways? Is it a process to download everything (gallery, scraps, favs, journals, etc) from a user gallery?

Hrxn · 2020-03-25T22:53:05Z

If I'm not mistaken, extended_fetch is part of DeviantArt's API, which is a bit, well, weird.

mikf · 2020-03-26T16:44:33Z

This error is apparently from DeviantArt's CDN CloudFront, which will block all requests to deviantart.com after getting too much traffic from the same address. I've set up an endless loop to fetch scraps from the same artist over and over again, and after some time I got the same 403 error. Even visiting the website in a normal browser showed me the following:

Going slower through all Deviations by using a delay (sleep), and stopping when there is nothing more to do ("skip": "abort:3") should help here, I hope.

And /extended_fetch is an API endpoint of DeviantArt's Eclipse interface that fetches all information for a single Deviation. The current strategy for scraps is to fetch a list of all numeric Deviation IDs from another API endpoint and than call /extended_fetch for each one of them, which is a bit wasteful.

sledgehammer93 · 2020-03-26T18:39:44Z

@mikf, Just did a test run with the settings you recommended, and it still manged to 403 after a while. I also wasn't able to access any of Deviantart in a normal browser as well. Here's the biggest change I made to my config file:

"scraps":
           {
               "cookies": "/mnt/7F1332F211233659/Important/gallery-dl/cookies.txt",
               "cookies-update": true,
               "sleep": 4,
               "skip": "abort:5"
           },

Hrxn · 2020-03-26T18:42:17Z

@sledgehammer93 Did you try these new settings with a new client IP address on your side first?

sledgehammer93 · 2020-03-26T18:47:40Z

~~@Hrxn , I did not. I will attempt it again in a little bit to see if that helps.~~
@Hrxn , Just attempted it again with a new client side IP. It still managed to do the same exact thing.

biznizz · 2020-03-27T11:13:59Z

I can report that I just had a 403 Error as well that interrupted a rip of a DA gallery and temporarily gave me the error page on my browser for a little while. After using a VPN to change my ISP, I was able to finish downloading and when I turned off VPN, I was able to get on site again normally.

Seems that ripping a large amount of images from them now triggers a kind of DDOS prevention routine.

I would get banned after ~300 images each time I tried to download the artist I was trying to download. I used a different IP each time. The artist has ~585 images total and only 5 of them are scraps. I gave up and haven't tried downloading since. This was on March 17th btw. I was never able to finish downloading them.

The ban only affects your current IP and not your API key.

It'd still kick you even if you had already downloaded the first 300 images? Like, even though you'd already have them, it'd stop in the same position every time?

Odd, you'd think that, since images you'd downloaded are automatically skipped (unless your config is set to redownload them everytime), it'd skip each image you have until image 301 and continue to rip normally afterwards.

mikf · 2020-03-27T20:57:35Z

DeviantArt's developers did something on March 17th, it seems. There is even an entry in the API changelog: https://www.deviantart.com/developers/changelog and, of course, they only removed stuff as their first update in 4½ years.

@sledgehammer93 try "skip": "abort:1" instead of :5, so it only does 2 HTTP requests instead of 6 before stopping when there is nothing new, and have a long pause (>10 seconds maybe) between each artist.

@Twi-Hard use --range "300-". For DeviantArt, this will immediately jump to the 300th image without having to skip over your already downloaded files.

@biznizz It's not downloading images that's causing the ban - most of them are hosted on images-wixmp-....wixmp.com and not on DeviantArt's servers anyway - it's the HTTP requests in the background to gather download URLs, metadata, etc.

sledgehammer93 · 2020-03-27T21:15:01Z

That appears to work reasonably well, @mikf . At the moment, I just have "skip": "abort:1" set in my gallery-dl.conf file, and it appears to run well enough for one or two runs.

~~However, subsequent runs after that appear to still 403 after a while. I will run the tests again later when I have a bit more time with "sleep: 10" set as well, to see if that helps any.~~

Update: Tried it again with "sleep: 10" and "wait-min: 10" , and it still 403'ed after a while.

biznizz · 2020-03-28T05:50:22Z

I have "skip": "exit:50", "sleep": 0, and "wait-min": 0 currently in my config.

Is there any benefit to having abort over exit in skip? They largely sound the same according to the configuration doc, as in ending the process after x amount of skips.

'/extended_fetch' as well as Deviation webpages now again contain Deviation UUIDs needed to grab Deviation info through the OAuth API, meaning cookies are no longer necessary to grab original files. The only instance were cookies are still needed are scraps marked as "mature", since those entries are hidden for public users. (#655, #657, #660)

- add a 2 second wait time between requests to deviantart.com - catch 403 "Request blocked" errors and wait for 3 minutes until retrying

mikf · 2020-04-03T20:32:14Z

I've been trying to figure out under what conditions these "Request blocked" errors occur by writing little script that continuously sends HTTP requests to https://www.deviantart.com/ and waits a certain time in between.

When waiting <1 seconds, I'd get the error after ca. 250 requests, and after roughly 10min you could send another batch of 250 requests until it happened again. Waiting for 5 seconds didn't result in any errors at all, even after 1500 requests.

ff7c0b7 and f9a590f now add a mandatory 2 second wait time between all regular non-OAuth requests, and, should this error still happen, will wait 3 minutes until trying again, hoping that the internal rate limiting is gone. (It'll continue to wait until the block is actually gone)

@Twi-Hard Somewhere in between I've also fixed --range not doing a "quick jump" for scraps. Sorry for recommending something that didn't properly work.

sledgehammer93 · 2020-04-04T20:39:27Z

@mikf , That appears to have done the trick. Currently downloading a massive number of scraps at the moment, and it has yet to 403 once. Thanks again!

This was already done for non-OAuth requests (#655) but CF is now blocking OAuth API requests as well.
