Failing to download about itchio HOT 9 CLOSED

I just tried downloading a freely available project, and it did download all 3 PDFs ( https://failbetter-games.itch.io/skyfarer ), so why one and not the other?

Pretty sure this is just a continuation of #57.

I think this is an issue with how the API was reverse engineered.

I'm currently trying to run the app through a proxy. I think the issue is that if the item is paid-for it requires an download_key_id or uploads comes back empty. there doesn't seem to be a way around this.

The only way i can see is to add the purchased item api to get the keys and then do the downloads.

are you able to test the code in #66 to see if the fix works for you?

Thanks for the quick turnaround! I tried it out on my purchased game (same command as in the original post) but instead of downloading the specified game, it started downloading every game. I had to kill it. I have a lot of games from a couple of big bundles, so I can't let it run through all of them to confirm. But there were some purchased games in the first few that downloaded successfully.

doh! i made a mistake with the order of trimming the list / exiting the loop, the new one should work.

it was only going to download the current loaded page (50 items)

That worked! It had to check 50 pages of purchases first, but I got the files.

Would it be possible to cache that info so you'd only have to run an "update purchases" job occasionally? My ideal scenario is to create a list of games I want to keep updated, and then I'd script jobs to grab updates. Pulling the same 50 pages of purchase info for each game seems onerous.

That does seem like a good idea on the whole. Tbh this system was designed more of a one and done "download the entire library onto a nas" tool instead of downloading an arbitrary game. Are you okay to spin this off into a new issue, because i think this will need a bit more of a redesign for it?

from itchio.

Yes, I can create a feature request for it. Thanks!
