[Site Support Request] cohost.org

[JAK0723]

Example: https://cohost.org/SwampistArts
Example: https://cohost.org/NanoButts

Has image posts, text posts, reposts, replies to questions, and 18+ filter.

i'd like to bump this and add my request for this as well, as more artists have joined cohost.org since this site support request was initially submitted, and it'd mean a lot to be able to easily download and keep my own offline archive of what they post.

of note also; cookie support most likely would be necessary, as some cohost user pages, (i believe the ones marked as adult/NSFW), do not let you view them without logging in.

Was going to open a new issue for this but remembered not to be an idiot and search for duplicate requests first.
3rding the request as some furry artists are posting some stuff here exclusively and saving it all hurts my poor fingers.
Login support will probably become mandatory as it gets more popular but for now the default seems to be a click through confirmation for each NSFW post similar to baraag.

@manwithakeyboard If you're using a browser addon to use gallery-dl automatically, you can always just use it on images directly. It'll just save them to a directlink folder instead of properly sorting it.

Cohost is going to be shutting down by the end of the year so there's a time limit on this.

I've added basic Cohost support for user and post URLs (df0d7d4).

Login is not directly implemented, but providing cookies should work.
Let me know what else should be added, what doesn't work as expected, etc.

Downloading 18+ content seems to work without login, but there is some weird infinite empty page loop going on for some profiles like https://cohost.org/NanoButts from OP, which might resolve itself when logged in. This gets currently handled by exiting after 3 consecutive empty result.
(I don't have an account and registering new ones is disabled ...)

The current extractor doesn't seem to do text-only posts (re: twitter's text-tweets option)

[mikf]

They are enabled by default, but, just like twitter, need an "event": "post" metadata post processor to be written to disk. The text content can be found in content or plainTextBody.

            {
                "name": "metadata",
                "event": "post",
                "filename": "{postId}.txt",
                "filter": "content",
                "format": "{content:J\n\n}"
            }

requesting support to download your own liked posts

I don't have an account and creating a new one is not possible anymore, so I can't access /liked-posts and figure out how it works.

I would need the full HTML content of, lets say, the second /liked-posts page from someone to maybe be able to add support for liked posts.

turns out that downloading likes is nearly the same as downloading tags! PR: #6191
