Unclear instruction in gallery nr

[Ry3yr]

In the example
https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:fu51on/27123391

The number 27123391 appears as "gallery" ?

It is not clear where this number (always) stems from ?
•Featured
•Scraps
seem to relay no number et all ?
What number applies to it ?
Do I even need a number for it ?

F.e. user @swanamii:
https://www.deviantart.com/swanamii/gallery/16690/ocs
Has a /number/ inb4 ocs ..

But that doesnt apply to all galleries

I felt like creating a querystring version and make all links target_blank:

<a target="_blank" href="?artist=swanamii&galleryid=16690" style=color:blue>Gallery</a><br><br>


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
<div class="deviations">
<?php
    require_once('getDeviations.php');
    $artist = $_GET['artist'];
    $galleryid = $_GET['galleryid'];
    $deviations = getDeviations("https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:{$artist}/{$galleryid}");
    foreach($deviations as $key => $deviation): ?>
        <div class="deviation">
            <div class="col col-p">
                <a target=_blank href="<?= $deviations[$key]->url; ?>"><h2><?= $deviations[$key]->title; ?></h2></a>
                <img src="<?= $deviations[$key]->image; ?>" alt="<?= $deviations[$key]->title; ?>" class="deviation_image"/>
                <p>Thumbnail src: <a target=_blank href="<?= $deviations[$key]->thumbS; ?>">150px</a> | <a target=_blank href="<?= $deviations[$key]->thumbL; ?>">300px</a>
            </div>
            <div class="col col-s">
                <h2>Deviation Info</h2>
                <p><small><?= $deviations[$key]->date; ?></small></p>
                <p><strong><?= $deviations[$key]->desc; ?></strong></p>
                <p>Rating: <?= $deviations[$key]->rating; ?></p>
                <p>Category: <a target=_blank href="http://browse.deviantart.com/<?= $deviations[$key]->categoryUrl; ?>"><?= $deviations[$key]->category; ?></a></p>
                <p>By <a target=_blank href="<?= $deviations[$key]->deviantUrl; ?>"><?= $deviations[$key]->deviantName; ?></a></p>
                <img src="<?= $deviations[$key]->deviantAvatar; ?>"/>
                <p><?= $deviations[$key]->copyright; ?></p>
            </div>
        </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi there,

I've worked out how to get the data from the "Featured" gallery!

To find the ID for your "Featured" gallery:

1. Navigate to: https://www.deviantart.com/swanamii/gallery
2. Hover over the "Featured" link under "Gallery"
3. You can see the ID in the URL (https://www.deviantart.com/swanamii/gallery/16656/featured)

https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:swanamii/16656

You can also see this ID using the Network tab in your browser's devtools. When you switch gallery, there's a request to https://frog.wix.com/da-client which contains the itemid in its parameters.

In the Network tab I can see itemid=-2 for Scraps, but neither https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:swanamii/-2 nor https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=gallery:swanamii/%2D2 work.

If you figure out a way to get Scraps working, please do let me know.

Excellent 😺 !

Here is a lil php to find the featured gallery for any user desired:

    <form method="POST" action="">
        <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Enter username" required>
        <button type="submit">Search</button>
    </form>
    <div id="result">
        <?php
        if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
            $username = $_POST['username'];
            $url = "https://www.deviantart.com/{$username}/gallery/";
            $content = file_get_contents($url);
            $pattern = '/<a href="https:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/' . preg_quote($username) . '\/gallery\/(\d+)\/featured">/';
            preg_match($pattern, $content, $matches);
            if (isset($matches[1])) {
                $galleryId = $matches[1];
                echo "Featured gallery URL: <a href=\"https://www.deviantart.com/{$username}/gallery/{$galleryId}/featured\">https://www.deviantart.com/{$username}/gallery/{$galleryId}/featured</a>";
            } else {
                echo "Featured gallery not found.";
            }
        }
        ?>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Gotta look into Scraps.

EDIT: Not all featured galleries work ?

BackendResponse is ok,

I think your parser takes issue with this gallery 😹 ?

Addendum:
Is it possible the "-2" you see in devtools is actually the pagenumber on that scraps page ?

Maybe the "Scraps" Folder is not exposed in the backend?:

"Scraps are not officially part of the gallery it seems, or at least they don't get listed as part of said "All" folder. There is also no special "Scraps" folder as part of the folders list provided by the OAuth API, which is why the Scraps extractor has to do its own "thing" and, together with individual Deviations, is the only reason you need cookies in the first place.

In the response, there's one item which doesn't follow the same format as the rest of the items:

<item>
  <title>DA Upload</title>
  <link>https://www.deviantart.com/aoikurayami1/art/DA-Upload-976722669</link>

  <media:description type="html">JS Uploader</media:description>
</item>

Perhaps adding null coalescing operators to https://github.com/jamesl1001/deviantART-API/blob/master/getDeviations.php#L20-L33 would solve this error?

e.g. "thumbS" => $item->children('media', true)->thumbnail[0]->attributes()->url ?? null,

If you have time to test it, please do open a pull request!

Is it possible the "-2" you see in devtools is actually the pagenumber on that scraps page ?

I don't think so. Even when I navigate to page 3, itemid is still -2.

I tried your suggested change.
