[Deviantart] [Enhancement] Remove the "you need session cookies to download mature scraps" warning

[Scripter17]

So as it turns out, gallery-dl can already download mature scraps without session cookies

Trying to download an account with their only scrap being mature gives the following result

C:\Users\[REDACTED]\Desktop>gallery-dl --ignore-config https://www.deviantart.com/[REDACTED]/gallery/scraps
[deviantart][warning] API responded with 429 Too Many Requests. Using 1s delay.
[deviantart][warning] No session cookies set: Unable to fetch mature scraps.
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]

Same test for an account with 5 mature scraps (429's removed)

C:\Users\[REDACTED]\Desktop>gallery-dl --ignore-config https://www.deviantart.com/[REDACTED]/gallery/scraps
[deviantart][warning] No session cookies set: Unable to fetch mature scraps.
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]
* .\gallery-dl\deviantart\[REDACTED]\Scraps\[REDACTED]

I'll need to do some further testing to make sure it can always download mature scraps, but I'm fairly sure it can

Technically this is invalid cuz you aren't giving a link others can test for themselves.

You're right, the Eclipse API now also returns "mature" rated works regardless of login status. That wasn't the case back when I added this warning. Thanks for letting me know they changed it.

429's removed

You haven't gotten your own pair of client-id and client-secret yet? (#1560 (comment))

I did that a while ago but --ignore-config broke them when I was making sure you didn't need API keys for mature scraps

So wait, does this mean that we don't need to export DA cookies (mainly userinfo) to a cookies.txt anymore to download a full gallery, scraps (mature or not) included?

[Scripter17]

It means that, for quite a while it seems, you didn't need to do it even before I made the patch. The related pull request just removes the 6 lines of code that warns you to export cookies

Cookies were needed when the extractor was first made so it seems that deviantart changed something that made gallery-dl suddenly work. Usually site changes cause the opposite effect
