Need help with config

[zarcheamusic-glitch]

Hi I already use gallery-dl for 2 years for pixiv.
now I am trying to use it for Twitter and frankly I forget how to add the token for twitter. I already tried use cookies.txt but it returned with : [Invalid Netscape cookies.txt file 'C:\Users\USER\Documents\cookies.txt' (ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 7, got 1))]
then I tried with cookies.json, it returned with: (cookies: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies')
then I remember get the auth with the method that used the code like this for pixiv:

but I don't remember how I can input that. (pixiv token is still working btw) and I can't find the "callback" code in the devtools in chrome as well. anyone can help? thank you

[Invalid Netscape cookies.txt file 'C:\Users\USER\Documents\cookies.txt' (ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 7, got 1))]

Your cookies.txt file needs to be in Netscape format, not JSON or anything else.

(cookies: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies')

This may work when the browser is closed, but this has been an ongoing and not really solvable issue for Chromium-based browsers on Windows.

but I don't remember how I can input that

gallery-dl oauth:pixiv
This won't work for Twitter, though.

oh that method I used with pixiv won't work with twitter? thank you for confirming.
now I managed to make it in netscape format.

this means the cookies successfully added right?
plus, I want to make sure that "--sleep 1-10 --sleep-request 1-10" is enough to prevent my dummy account got blocked because I am trying to download 3000-ish media in that gallery

Yes, for this one run of gallery-dl.
You need to include --cookies every time you want it to use these cookies.
gallery-dl doesn't store cookies internally or something like that.

--sleep 1-10 --sleep-request 1-10

Should be more than good enough. I would even decrease the --sleep time a bit.
