I did and only 2 post came up the most recent being this thread where the last post was March 31st 2018. https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=74587 this thread didn't come up.

It doesn't look like there has been any movement on this ticket in almost 2 years. any idea why the deviantart plugin is getting no love?

1. Lack of time.
2. Deviantart is using a protection similar to Cloudflare some time ago, see ticket:

Hi,
please read the previous posts in this thread.
To sum it up:
Please do not expect a bugfix for this in the near future/ever.

Will it ever be possible again to download images from Deviantart using JDownloader? Until recently you could download at least half of the images, the other half just had the problem with the Deviantart logo. But now, the links aren't even pasted into JDownloader, and the plugin keeps reporting that it's out of date.-

There is no definite answer to that question.
We're open source so you're free to work on it yourself.
EDIT

I didn't want to waste your time but a simple "No" would also be the wrong answer.
From my perspective: I don't see this being fixed.

Update:
I've looked at this again and here are my results:
Normal login attempts get blocked by their AntiDDoS protection but cookie login did work for me.

I've implemented some proof of concept changes and I'm waiting for your feedback.

Changes:
- Fixed login: Added cookie login support (no gurantees and no idea how long self added cookies will stay active)
- Fixed/added proof of concept profile crawler: Currently this will only crawl the first 24 items and only images. This will only listen to such URLs for now: deviantart.com/username

Before you ask:
I didn't put more time into this because if in the end, their AntiDDoS protection blocks most of those requests it wouldn't make any sense to put more time into this

What I'd need from you to work more on this:
- Feedback once the update is released (you may also build the dev version on your own and test right away)
- More example URLs especially for profiles that contain a lot of different item types like: images, videos, journals and also things like +18 content, blocked content, officially downloaded content, .zip downloadable items

For all changes mentioned in this post, the following information applies:

I know very little about programming, but I just have a question. In fact, there is currently no browser extension or other program that manages to download entire galleries on DeviantArt. But I found a way. This is the gallery-dl. This works with Python and you simply enter a certain command line in cmd to download it, and all the pictures and other files in a gallery are downloaded in full quality. The disadvantage is that you have to insert each gallery into the command and then start it individually in cmd, which is of course very time-consuming if you want to download many galleries. Is it possibly somehow possible to connect that with the JDownloader? Maybe the question is stupid, but as I said, I don't really know much about programming.

Of course there is.
Simply go to github.com and look for open source tools.
Having invested some seconds (didn't test it though), here are some findings:
github.com/xofred/deviantart-gallery-downloader
github.com/NC22/KellyC-Image-Downloader
github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

Jup I found that one too.

No.
Please re-read my last post, wait for the update, provide feedback and if my changes do work for the majority of our users, I'm willing to put more time into fixing our existing deviantart plugins

[pspzockerscene]

Updates have been released.
I've done quite some more changes to this plugin but officially I've only set the progress to 50%.
Biggest changes:
- fixed login
- fixed official downloads ("Download button downloads")
- re-designed settings for this plugin, see Settings -> Plugins -> deviantart.com
- fixed profile/gallery/favourites crawler

Please leave your feedback here and report anything you think is still broken.

In some cases, instead of the actual item, it's downloading a DA logo. If you're looking for some way to detect it, it's 10648 bytes.

Also, there seems to be no way to craft a packagizer rule to differentiate between user galleries and favorites, as according to the rule tester both the Download URL and Source URL are the individual deviation URL rather than the gallery URL. I acknowledge that this might already be known.

Out of interest, what was the reason for sticking with scraping rather than trying to use the API?

[Jiaz]

@mwl: can you provide logs/example for the *downloading DA logo*? Best would be debug log, see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...d-session-logs
and post shown logID here

Did not look at the API recently but for example , https://board.jdownloader.org/showpo...0&postcount=20
The situation might have changed meanwhile

pspzockerscene will answer this next week

Looking more closely, it looks like a lot of the ones generating a logo are "literature", and therefore won't have an image, but I'd need to check if this is the case for all of them. I'll spin up a log later if I can.

[Jiaz]

@mwl: thanks for the feedback. Maybe literature support broken/not yet supported. Maybe can provide example links?

What might be (/have been) missing from the API?

If they know what they're doing, it should have proper rate-limiting support which will communicate back to the client how long to back off for, which should work a little better than cookie-sharing and having to reset it regularly. Then again, "should" is one of my favourite English words. I'll take a look at some other API clients to see what they can and can't do.

I'm sorry but lost in history, I don't remember, too long ago.

"Should" not be necessary to regulary reset it as you don't have to regulary re-login at website. But I'm not familiar with current plugin at all.
