Gallery-dl: deviantart oauth issue

[mechalincoln]

Hey. I've authenticated with deviantart using oauth before, but no matter what I do I keep getting this message.

I can get as far as the deviantart page where it lets you authenticate and check the box that says "I understand that gallery-dl will now act in the manner described above."

But then it redirects to here: http://localhost:6414/?code=7452961a6b6478d1fe900fa7abec4e06e9347af9&state=gallery-dl_deviantart_ovFPkoNX

And it goes to a local server like that every time I try afterwards.

V:>gallery-dl oauth:deviantart --verbose

How would I fix this issue with cacert?

This is on a Windows 10 x64 machine using v1.82 via the prebuilt binary.

The non-verbose one outputs this upon trying to download from deviantart:

[deviantart][info] Refreshing private access token
[deviantart][error] HTTP request failed: 400: Bad Request for url: https://www.deviantart.com/oauth2/token

The current executable doesn't include a CA certificate bundle (not possible with py2exe as far as I can tell) and therefore globally disabled certificate checks ... until 4ca4631b (version 1.8.0 and up). This change works fine for normal HTTP connections, but apparently not when doing OAuth authentication.

Starting with version 1.8.3 standalone executables will be build with PyInstaller and include a certificate bundle, which will fix this error.

But then it redirects to here: http://localhost:6414/?code=7452961a6b6478d1fe900fa7abec4e06e9347af9&state=gallery-dl_deviantart_ovFPkoNX

And it goes to a local server like that every time I try afterwards.

That's how it is supposed to work. gallery-dl needs to somehow receive data from a remote server and listening on a local port is easiest way of doing so. The other option would be to ask the user to copy&paste some text from their web browser to the terminal window, but that's just unnecessarily tedious.

A possible solution that should work right now:

• use the v1.7.0 executable to get your refresh-token with oauth:deviantart
• put it into your config file
• and use gallery-dl v1.8.2 to download

That worked! Thank you so much for the prompt reply.

I love this app. It does its' job very very very well.

Yeah, it really does.

Fixed in 1.8.3:
