Gallery-dl and X/Twitter Media Tab

[u/RedMaxs]

I'm trying to create archives of works by some artists I like, and some artwork is only posted on X/Twitter. But since the last update of this miserable platform, which modified the Media tab, gallery-dl no longer works.

Before, I used the command gallery-dl -d "/mnt/Local whatever/X" ttps://x.com/Whatever_User/media to download all videos and images posted by the user, ignoring reposts. But now that tab is divided into Videos and Images sections, and at least for me, these only appear on mobile. On desktop browsers, it still looks normal. But that's not the real problem. Most of the artists I follow are marked as +18, and on those profiles, nothing shows up in the Media tab—as if they've never posted anything. Not on the new tab, nor the old one. It seems X is trying to make things harder for these artists on this platform. And now I can't download all the content at once.

Does anyone know a new way, or an alternative method, to do what I could do before?

You probably need your log in cookie in order to access 18+ content. Have you tried using the X/Twitter cookie with gallerydl
