How to download images from deviantart or artstation by browsing

[eveningglow]

I tried to download images by browsing from deviantart or artstation. For example, I only wanted to download portraits, so I used commands like gallery-dl "https://www.deviantart.com/search/deviations?q=portrait" gallery-dl "https://www.artstation.com/search?sort_by=likes&query=portrait". However, these commands download the wrong images, which are not portraits. How can I download specific images by browsing from deviantart or artstation?

Searching is kind of broken for deviantart. (#2954)

Searching on artstation should return the same result as the website does, though.

Never mind, the query parameter changed from q to query, so if you have a search like

https://www.artstation.com/search?query=nature

rename query to q to make it work with gallery-dl

https://www.artstation.com/search?q=nature

Thank you! It works well by changing queue to q, so with URL like https://www.artstation.com/search?sort_by=relevance&q=portrait. However, it still does not work with URL like https://www.artstation.com/search?sort_by=relevance&q=portrait&medium_ids=1. I added an additional condition about medium when searching. Do I have to change medium_ids? How can I get information like this?

Anything other than 'query/q' and 'sort_by' does not get recognized with the current version of gallery-dl, so your medium_ids=1 is just getting ignored at the moment.

I've implemented support for such filters in commit 6992d01, so this and using 'query' instead of 'q' will be fixed in the next release. (or you use/install the dev version)
