"client-id": "myid",
"client-secret": "myclientsecret",

Are you sure that gallery-dl sees the config file?
Maybe you created gallery-dl.conf.txt instead of gallery-dl.conf?

Again, just follow this guide: #2143 (comment)

I'm getting the same error. Do I need to edit the existing config or create a whole new one?

If you have created it before, just edit it, only add the necessary information ("client-id" and "client-secret") in deviantart extractor properties.

I haven't created one. Just tried the one that was already in there

I would leave the default config without changes. You just extends/partially-overwrites it with your own one.

Alright and just to clarify. The twitter part is important and for the id/secret I use the one I setup on the whitelist?

Of course, no. It's just a recommendation.
In particular, it's a way to verify that the config file is in use.
The most minimal config for your need:

{
    "extractor":
    {
        "deviantart":
        {
            "client-id": "12345",
            "client-secret": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
        }
    }
}

But I would recommend to use the config from my guide.
I sure it uses the better filename patter than the default config.

When I put it in I'm still getting the error and it's at the point now where it goes to 30s and loops that

12345
0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
It is a fake data. Demonstration only. Use your own ones.

Did you read #2143 (comment)?

Yes. I entered the data I got from the whitelist and reset the cache but still no luck

Did you try to follow my guide exactly?

On 4th step did you download the image with the name:

• [twitter] SpaceX—2021.12.22—1473671809870725121—FHOHgQGUYAIM3r9.jpg

?

Yes, but the file name seemed like it's default instead of having the date and such

So, it only means that the config is not used.

Did you really created it with the correct name and in the correct place with the command from step 1, then open exactly this file with the command from step 2?

I was using the one that was in the docs folder and just adding the command into it. Is that not the right location? Or do I need to make a new config?

Why not just to follow the guide?
If you will follow my guide it will work 100 %.

Ok I'll start at step one again. Just got make sure I put the config in the right spot does it go in the docs or the where userprofile is (is that where things like the folders and setup is located?)

The step 4 will show that everything is OK.

The file (gallery-dl.conf) should be in %USERPROFILE% (C:\Users\Username\, for example).
The command from the first step does it.

I think I have the profile(if that's the folders and other stuff like cookies go) on my D: drive , though my downloads go to my C: drive
