An update on this:
As of around 1800 UTC on Wednesday, all linkgrabbers fail, but links already in the queue download successfully.

I've noticed that in the page source for the old version, there's a link to the new version, but in the new version it's a <div> with a click event which doesn't appear to send a URL at all.

There is an API (deviantart.com/developers/http/v1/20160316) and it appears to be able to get most things, but it will require parsing the URL to get the correct parameters, and grabbing individual folders may be an issue. For instance, while playing around with it I wasn't able to resolve the "Scraps" folder for a user using the /folders call. OAuth authentication flows might require to do something similar to what happens for reCaptcha to get initial credentials.

//edit
I'm currently looking at github.com/KarsonKimbrel/DeviantArt-OAuth2-Java to see if this is something that could be used.
