Extractor Options
=================


Each extractor is identified by its ``category`` and ``subcategory``.

``category`` is the lowercase site name without any spaces or special
characters, which is usually just the module name
(``pixiv``, ``danbooru``, ...).

``subcategory`` is a lowercase word describing the general functionality
of that extractor (``user``, ``favorite``, ``manga``, ...).

The ``category`` and ``subcategory`` of all extractors are included in the
output of ``gallery-dl --list-extractors``.
For a specific URL, these values
can also be determined by using the
``-E`` / ``--extractor-info`` and ``-K`` / ``--list-keywords``
command-line optiona (see the example below).

Each one of the following options can be specified on multiple levels of the
configuration tree:

================== =======
Base level:        ``extractor.<option-name>``
Category level:    ``extractor.<category>.<option-name>``
Subcategory level: ``extractor.<category>.<subcategory>.<option-name>``
================== =======

JSON Representation:

.. code:: json

    {
        "extractor": {
            "<option-name>": "<value-base>",

            "<category>": {
                "<option-name>": "<value-category>",

                "<subcategory>": {
                    "<option-name>": "<value-subcategory>"
                }
            }
        }
    }

A value in a "deeper" level hereby
overrides a value of the same name on a lower level.
For example, setting a value for ``extractor.pixiv.filename``
lets you specify a general filename pattern
for all the different ``pixiv`` extractors.
Setting the ``extractor.pixiv.user.filename`` value lets you override this
general pattern specifically for ``PixivUserExtractor`` instances.

Specifying an option on the top level, next to ``extractor``,
acts as a *global* setting,
overriding *all* other values with the same option name,
regardless of their position.

.. code:: json

    {
        "extractor": {
            "<option-name>": "<value-base (overridden)>"
        },
        "<option-name>": "<value-global>"
    }



extractor.*.filename
--------------------
Type
    * `Format String`_
    * ``object`` (Condition_ → `Format String`_)
Example
    .. code:: json

        "{manga}_c{chapter}_{page:>03}.{extension}"

    .. code:: json

        {
            "extension == 'mp4'": "{id}_video.{extension}",
            "'nature' in title" : "{id}_{title}.{extension}",
            ""                  : "{id}_default.{extension}"
        }

Description
    A `Format String`_ to generate filenames for downloaded files.

    If this is an ``object``,
    it must contain Conditions_ mapping to the
    `Format String`_ to use.
    These Conditions_ are evaluated in the specified order
    until one evaluates to ``True``.
    When none match, the ``""`` entry or
    the extractor's default filename `Format String`_ is used.

    The available replacement keys depend on the extractor used. A list
    of keys for a specific one can be acquired by calling *gallery-dl*
    with the ``-K``/``--list-keywords`` command-line option.
    For example:

    .. code::

        $ gallery-dl -K http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im5977527
        Keywords for directory names:
        -----------------------------
        category
          seiga
        subcategory
          image

        Keywords for filenames:
        -----------------------
        category
          seiga
        extension
          None
        image-id
          5977527
        subcategory
          image
Note
    Even if the value of the ``extension`` key is missing or
    ``None``, it will be filled in later when the file download is
    starting. This key is therefore always available to provide
    a valid filename extension.


extractor.*.directory
---------------------
Type
    * ``list`` of `Format Strings`_
    * ``object`` (Condition_ → `Format Strings`_)
Example
    .. code:: json

        ["{category}", "{manga}", "c{chapter} - {title}"]

    .. code:: json

        {
            "'nature' in content": ["Nature Pictures"],
            "retweet_id != 0"    : ["{category}", "{user[name]}", "Retweets"],
            ""                   : ["{category}", "{user[name]}"]
        }

Description
    A list of `Format String(s)`_ to generate the target directory path.

    If this is an ``object``,
    it must contain Conditions_ mapping to the
    list of `Format Strings`_ to use.

    Each individual string in such a list represents a single path
    segment, which will be joined together and appended to the
    base-directory_ to form the complete target directory path.


extractor.*.base-directory
--------------------------
Type
    * |Path|_
    * ``object`` (Condition_ → |Path|_)
Default
    ``"./gallery-dl/"``
Example
    .. code:: json

        "~/Downloads/gallery-dl"

    .. code:: json

        {
            "score >= 100": "$DL",
            "duration"    : "$DL/video",
            ""            : "/tmp/files/"
        }
Description
    Directory path used as base for all download destinations.

    If this is an ``object``,
    it must contain Conditions_ mapping to the |Path|_ to use.
    Specifying a default |Path|_ with ``""`` is required.


extractor.*.follow

Type
    `Format String`_
Default
    ``null``
Example
    * ``"{content}"``
    * ``"\fE body or html or text"``

Implementation Detail
    For ``strings`` with length >= 2, this option uses a
    `Regular Expression Character Set <https://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html>`__,
    meaning that:

    * Using a caret ``^`` as first character inverts the set
      (``"^..."``)
    * Character ranges are supported
      (``"0-9a-z"``)
    * ``]``, ``-``, and ``\`` need to be escaped as
      ``\\]``, ``\\-``, and ``\\\\`` respectively
      to use them as literal characters

    to access the current file's ``Last-Modified`` header as ``"{gdl_http[Last-Modified]}"``
    and its parsed form as ``"{gdl_http[date]}"``.


.. _extractor.*.version-metadata:

extractor.*.metadata-version
----------------------------
Type
    ``string``
Default
    ``null``
Description
    Insert an ``object`` containing gallery-dl's version info into

    | will be ignored and not processed any further.

    `Danbooru Blacklist Rules <https://danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/help:blacklists>`__
    are supported.

    This can be

    * The |Path|_ of a plaintext file
      containing black-/whitelisted tag names separated by newlines

Description
    File to store IDs of downloaded files in. Downloads of files
    already recorded in this archive file will be
    `skipped <extractor.*.skip_>`__.

    The resulting archive file is not a plain text file but an SQLite3
    database, as either lookup operations are significantly faster or
    memory requirements are significantly lower when the
    amount of stored IDs gets reasonably large.

    If this value is a
    `PostgreSQL Connection URI <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING-URIS>`__,
    the archive will use this PostgreSQL database as backend (requires
    `Psycopg <https://www.psycopg.org/>`__).
Note
    Archive files that do not already exist get generated automatically.

    Archive paths support basic `Format String`_ replacements,
    but be aware that using external inputs for building local paths
    may pose a security risk.

Example
    .. code:: json

        {
            "info:Logging in as .+"   : "level = debug",
            "warning:(?i)unable to .+": "exit 127",
            "error"                   : [
                "status |= 1",
                "exec notify.sh 'gdl error'",

    ``pattern`` is parsed as severity level (``debug``, ``info``, ``warning``, ``error``, or integer value)
    followed by an optional
    `Python Regular Expression <https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax>`__
    separated by a colon:
    ``<level>:<re>``

    Using ``*`` as `level` or leaving it empty
    matches logging messages of all levels:
    ``*:<re>`` or ``:<re>``

--------------------------
Type
    * |Postprocessor Configuration|_ object
    * ``list`` of |Postprocessor Configuration|_ objects

        ]

Description
    A list of `post processors <Postprocessor Configuration_>`__
    to be applied to each downloaded file in the specified order.

    | Unlike other options, a |postprocessors|_ setting at a deeper level
      does not override any |postprocessors|_ setting at a lower level.
    | Instead, all post processors from all applicable |postprocessors|_
      settings get combined into a single list.

    For example

    * an ``mtime`` post processor at ``extractor.postprocessors``,
    * a ``zip`` post processor at ``extractor.pixiv.postprocessors``,
    * and using ``--exec``

    will run all three post processors - ``mtime``, ``zip``, ``exec`` -
    for each downloaded ``pixiv`` file.

    /
    `youtube-dl's docstrings <https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/0153b387e57e0bb8e580f1869f85596d2767fb0d/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py#L157>`__



Output Options
==============


output.mode
-----------
Type
    * ``string``
    * ``object`` (`key` → `format string`)
Default
    ``"auto"``
Description
    Controls the output string format and status indicators.

    ``"null"``
        No output
    ``"pipe"``
        Suitable for piping to other processes or files
    ``"terminal"``
        Suitable for the standard Windows console
    ``"color"``
        Suitable for terminals that understand ANSI escape codes and colors
    ``"auto"``
        ``"pipe"`` if not on a TTY,
        ``"terminal"`` on Windows with `output.ansi`_ disabled,
        ``"color"`` otherwise.

    | It is possible to use custom output format strings
      by setting this option to an ``object`` and specifying
    | ``start``, ``success``, ``skip``, ``progress``, and ``progress-total``.

    For example, the following will replicate the same output as |mode: color|:

    .. code:: json

        {
            "start"  : "{}",
            "success": "\r\u001b[1;32m{}\u001b[0m\n",
            "skip"   : "\u001b[2m{}\u001b[0m\n",
            "progress"      : "\r{0:>7}B {1:>7}B/s ",
            "progress-total": "\r{3:>3}% {0:>7}B {1:>7}B/s "
        }

    ``start``, ``success``, and ``skip`` are used to output the current
    filename, where ``{}`` or ``{0}`` is replaced with said filename.
    If a given format string contains printable characters other than that,
    their number needs to be specified as ``[<number>, <format string>]``
    to get the correct results for `output.shorten`_. For example

    .. code:: json

            "start"  : [12, "Downloading {}"]

    | ``progress`` and ``progress-total`` are used when displaying the
      `download progress indicator <downloader.*.progress_>`__,
    | ``progress`` when the total number of bytes to download is unknown,
      ``progress-total`` otherwise.

    For these format strings

    * ``{0}`` is number of bytes downloaded
    * ``{1}`` is number of downloaded bytes per second
    * ``{2}`` is total number of bytes
    * ``{3}`` is percent of bytes downloaded to total bytes


output.stdout & .stdin & .stderr
--------------------------------
Type
    * ``string``
    * ``object``
Example

            "encoding": "utf-8",
            "errors": "replace",
            "line_buffering": true
        }

Description
    `Reconfigure <https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.TextIOWrapper.reconfigure>`__
    a `standard stream <https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin>`__.

    Possible options are

    * ``encoding``
    * ``errors``
    * ``newline``
    * ``line_buffering``
    * ``write_through``

    When this option is specified as a simple ``string``,
    it is interpreted as ``{"encoding": "<string-value>", "errors": "replace"}``
Note
    ``errors`` always defaults to ``"replace"``


output.shorten
--------------
Type
    ``bool``
Default
    ``true``
Description
    Controls whether the output strings should be shortened to fit
    on one console line.

    with a display width greater than 1.


output.colors
-------------
Type
    * ``bool``
    * ``object`` (`key` → `ANSI color`)
Default
    .. code:: json

        {
            "success": "1;32",
            "skip"   : "2",

            "error"  : "1;31"
        }

Description
    Controls the
    `ANSI colors <https://gist.github.com/fnky/458719343aabd01cfb17a3a4f7296797#color-codes>`__
    used for various outputs.

    ``true``
        Use default ANSI colors.
    ``false``
        Disable ANSI colors.
    ``object``
        Use custom ANSI colors.

        Keys for |mode: color|__

        * ``success``: successfully downloaded files
        * ``skip``: skipped files

        Keys for Logging Messages

      `importable <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html>`__
      Python module
    * the |Path|_ to a Python
      `package <https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-package>`__

Path
----
Type
    ``string``
Example
    * ``"file.ext"``

    and `environment variable expansion <https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expandvars>`__
    is supported.
Note
    In Windows environments,
    both backslashes ``\`` as well as forward slashes ``/``
    can be used as path separators.

    However, since backslashes are JSON's escape character,
    they themselves must be escaped as ``\\``.

    For example, a path like ``C:\path\to\file.ext`` has to be specified as

    * ``"C:\\path\\to\\file.ext"`` when using backslashes
    * ``"C:/path/to/file.ext"`` when using forward slashes

    in a JSON file.


Path+
-----

    * ``[":b", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
    * ``[":~", "gdl", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
    * ``[":$HOME", "gdl", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
    * ``["/opt", "archives", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
    * ``["C:", "archives", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
    * ``["\\\\server\\archives", "{category}", "{user}.sqlite3"]``
Description
    A |Path|_ that supports
    `path-restricted <extractor.*.path-restrict_>`__
    `Format String`_ expansion
    when given as a ``list`` of ``string`` values.

    Use a string starting with ``:`` as first list element
    to prefix the path with one of the following:

    ``":"`` | ``":b"`` | ``":base"``
        `base-directory <extractor.*.base-directory_>`__
    ``":d"`` | ``":dir"``
        `base-directory <extractor.*.base-directory_>`__ +
        `directory <extractor.*.directory_>`__
    ``":~"`` | ``":~USER"``
        home directory
        (`os.path.expanduser <https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser>`__)
    ``":$ENV"`` (``$`` + environment variable name)
        value of environment variable

    Use ``<drive-letter>:`` or ``\\`` on Windows
    or ``/`` on other platforms
    as starting characters of the first list element
    to interpret this as an absolute path.

    Otherwise it is interpreted as a path
    relative to the current working directory.

Action
------
Type
    ``string``
Example
    * ``"exit"``
    * ``"print Hello World"``
    * ``"raise AbortExtraction an error occured"``
    * ``"flag file = terminate"``
    * ``"keyword title Hello World"``
    * ``["print Exiting", "exit 1"]``
Description
    An Action_ is parsed as `Action Type`
    followed by (optional) arguments:
    ``<type> <arg1> <arg2> …``

    It is possible to specify more than one ``action``
    by providing them as a ``list``: ``["<action1>", "<action2>", …]``

    Supported `Action Types`:

    ``status``:
        | Modify job exit status.
        | Expected syntax is ``<operator> <value>`` (e.g. ``= 100``).

        Supported operators are
        ``=`` (assignment),
        ``&`` (bitwise AND),
        ``|`` (bitwise OR),
        ``^`` (bitwise XOR).
    ``level``:
        | Modify severity level of the current logging message.
        | Can be one of ``debug``, ``info``, ``warning``, ``error`` or an integer value.
        | Use ``0`` to ignore a message (``level = 0``).
    ``print``:
        Write argument to stdout.
    ``exec``:
        Run a shell command.
    ``abort``:
        Stop the current extractor run.
    ``terminate``:
        Stop the current extractor run, including parent extractors.
    ``restart``:
        Restart the current extractor run.
    ``raise``:
        Raise an exception.

        This can be an exception defined in
        `exception.py <https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/gallery_dl/exception.py>`_
        or a
        `built-in exception <https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy>`_
        (e.g. ``ZeroDivisionError``)
    ``flag``:
        Set a ``flag``.

        | Expected syntax is ``<flag>[ = <value>]`` (e.g. ``post = stop``)
        | ``<flag>`` can be one of ``file``, ``post``, ``child``, ``download``
        | ``<value>`` can be one of ``stop``, ``abort``, ``terminate``, ``restart``, ``skip`` (default ``stop``)
    ``keyword``:
        Set a `keyword <extractor.*.keywords_>`__ value
    ``wait``:
        | Sleep for a given Duration_ or
        | wait until Enter is pressed when no argument was given.
    ``exit``:
        Exit the program with the given argument as exit status.


Expression
----------
Type
    ``string``
Example
    * ``"1 + 2 + 3"``
    * ``"str(id) + '_' + title"``
    * ``"' - '.join(tags[:3]) if tags else 'no tags'"``
Description
    A Python Expression_ is a combination of
    values, variables, operators, and function calls
    that evaluate to a single value.
Reference
    * https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html


Condition
---------
Type
    * Expression_
    * ``list`` of `Expressions`_
Example
    * ``"not is_watching"``
    * ``"locals().get('optional')"``
    * ``"date >= datetime(2025, 7, 1) or abort()"``
    * ``["width > 800", "0.9 < width/height < 1.1"]``
Description
    A Condition_ is an Expression_
    whose result is evaluated as a |type-bool|_ value.


Format String
-------------
Type
    ``string``
Example
    * ``"foo"``
    * ``"{username}"``
    * ``"{title} ({id}).{extension}"``
    * ``"\fF {title.title()} ({num:>0{len(str(count))}} / {count}).{extension}"``
Description
    A `Format String`_ allows creating dynamic text
    by embedding metadata values directly into replacement fields
    marked by curly braces ``{...}``.
