Options added in this fork

--[no-]local-hash
Hash check before skip existing files. (default: False)
--[no-]dupe-check
Look for same index file with similar name and compare to server hash to prevent duplicate downloads. Works only for naming schemes starts with index, for now (maybe). (default: True)

notice: idk if two args above works together or not, i'll probably never use options other than these two defaults because that's why i make them default. if you use them and have issues please report.

--dupe-check-pattern
Specify two patterns used by dupe-check, one for search inside folder, one for search in parent folder, separated by comma. Please include wildcard. (default: "{index}*,*{id}*/{index}*")
Default is to look for files with same index within same folder and "neighbor" folder with same post id (useful when using default file/folder name pattern).
--[no-]force-unlisted
Still try to request api if user is not found in creators list. Use carefully. (default: False)
--retry-403 COUNT
When get 403 (possibly because of DDoS-Guard), retry without session up to COUNT times. This mitigation is probably long-outdated as the situation seems self-solved. (default: 0)
--[mo-]fp-added
Filter posts by added date instead of published date. Override behavior of --date --dateafter --datebefore. (default: False)

Notes

• Excepted link formats:
  • https://{site}.party/{service}/user/{user_id}
  • https://{site}.party/{service}/user/{user_id}/post/{post_id}
• By default files are saved as .part files until completed.
• I assume the .party site has the correct hash for attachments. This may not be the case in rare cases.
  • If the server is incorrect the file will remain a .part file.
  • You can remove the .part from the file name and see if it downloaded correctly.
    • If it is correct but the downloader said the hash was wrong please report it in the pinned issue so I can report it to the .party site.
• Some files do not have the file size in the response header and will not be downloaded when using --min-filesize or --max-filesize.
  • .pdf is a known file type that will never return file size from response headers.
• Gumroad posts published date is not provided so --date, --datebefore, and --dateafter will always skip Gumroad posts.
• Files will not be overwritten by default.
• Inline images default names are the file hash.
• For getting --yt-dlp to work please follow its instillation guide.
• For --yt-dlp-args ARGS refer to this for available options.

Output Patterns

Variables

The pattern options allow you to modify the file path and file name using variables from the post. --dirname-pattern is the base file path for all post files. All file name patterns are appended to the end of the --dirname-pattern. File name patterns may also contain sub folder paths specific to that type of file such as with the default pattern for --inline-filename-pattern.

All variables referring to dates are controlled by --date-strf-pattern. Standard python datetime strftime() format codes can be found here.
