Expected Behavior

Expected to download the gallery found on the website DeviantArt

Actual Behavior

RipMe is appears to be unable to process the url (I am assuming related to the domain changes done to deviantart in the recent history). Exact error message is:

" Expected URL format: http://www,deviantart.com/username[/gallery/#####], got: https://www.deviantart.com/kerbal69/favourites/gallery "

(Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I could not find any with similar problems to this.)
If you need anymore information please let me know.

Is there any update on this issue?

Nope. Unfortunately DeviantArt is a total pain to work with so no one has managed to get the ripper working well

They have insane rate limiting on requests for the api

Even if your using the api you still have to do some html scraping to get a photos UUID (Which makes the entire api pointless)

It's a pain and a half getting a full sized image

They make you log in to view some things which makes development a pain (No one likes handling cookies)

I could go on but this explains it nicely

Gotta admit, that's bad, and not just pretty bad, it's really bad.

I had been coding the program part itself of a DA toolkit in Python which'd do many things but I can't find the code anywhere anymore, and although I had already decided to resort to HTML and JSON scraping it might be a whole lot of problems getting it to work, especially without the help of Seledium ...

I don't suppose you'd write down somewhere everything you know about the process of ripping DA favs, please ? I'm sure you know a whole heap of details about DA favs inner workings, so/and everything you got would help everyone come up with any kinda solution.

I just merged #1168 so at least ripme now recognizes favourites galleries but it still can't ripme them

I should be able to get this working in a day or so but first I have to deal with a a bug that made it into master
