Can you download from a mega link inside of a patreon post ?

Hello,

A patreon I'm following is putting some of their work with a mega link. Is there a way to scrape what's inside of the mega folders ?

I asked about pretty much this same thing here #6476 and someone answered there.

Yes, and this answer still applies here.

An example link is a bit difficult with Patreon I presume, but we could work you through this here, step by step if you are inclined to do so.

The thing is, getting the links automatically is the easy part, as gallery-dl can extract text from posts on Patreon as metadata (it should do so by default) and then use the post-processor to write this into a file on your local system.

If you mean automatically downloading on the spot - also possible, but this is a bit more involved, because you then would need an additional post-processor step to automate this. Up to you to decide if this is really worth it.

If your question was specifically about Mega: No, it's not possible to scrape anything specific from folders (or whatever) on Mega, because this site is not supported by gallery-dl.

Pretty sure there are already many programs which support Mega, including automated or scriptable downloads or something along this line.
