Hello.

How do I go about say, using gallery-dl to download "catbox", "files.catbox.moe" and their associations etc
through a website like 4chan?

So, for example, link of the site is already depicted followed by catbox links all on the specific page of the URL.

Another example is kemono.party, when you dl an artists page, you only get the file, image, and attachments.
You won't get the catbox links or others located on the individual post pages.

How do I get this to work with non-direct links?

This is not directly supported at the moment.

You can usually configure gallery-dl to write textual content to files, although that currently works only partially for 4chan and other chans (#3626), and then scan these for external links with your own script or gallery-dl r:file://<path>.

Oh, okay thanks.
Hopefully it'll get direct support eventually but no worries

Would there be information on how to do this? I can't see anything that looks applicable in the --help
