Deviant Art 403 errors

[ghost]

Hey 4_pr0n,

There's also, all of a sudden, 403 errors coming from Deviant Art.

Here are some samples of the issue:

Also, what does the Deviant Art ripper rip now, since I know there have been a few fixes along the way? Can I just put the user's home page to rip? Or do I have to go to their work section or add their individual album urls each time?

Looks like DeviantArt throws 403 errors after a certain number of files are ripped. I added an extra-long sleep timer so the 403 errors shouldn't be a problem... but now it takes a really long time to rip a user's pictures (like 2-3 seconds per rip).

It now rips the image descriptions which are saved to a .txt file.

Can I just put the user's home page to rip? Or do I have to go to their work section or add their individual album urls each time?

You can go to their "all" page (/gallery/?catpath=/) but I made a change so if you type http://username.deviantart.com it auto-completes to http://username.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/, so you just need the username.deviantart.com and it should get all of their deviations.

Was able to rip ~150 images from an account without any 403 errors. If you get errors again, reopen this and I'll adjust the sleep times.

I was able to rip most of the deviations from a few accounts, but I got about seventeen 403 errors. They came mostly at the end of the last user.

using v1.2.12 this issue is back when ripping gallery with hundreds of images. probably DeviantArt modified its limit?

I've been receiving the 403 errors. I'm using v1.4.1

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

[metaprime]

Websites change from time to time which breaks RipMe's rippers' logic which is tightly tied to the layout of websites. Likely the current issue is not related to this issue from 2 years ago.

I think your current complaint is covered by #424 so I won't reopen this issue.

[code-monkey231]

Interestingly enough over the last 24 hours my issue has become that covered in #424 - before that it was exactly this one. Thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye out for a fix to #424

[metaprime]

Didn't realize this issue was still open. Will track the issue in #424
