Getting 'gfycat.error.GfycatClientError: (404) Error fetching the URL'

Hi there,

I'm trying to fetch a upload from URL but I'm getting this error:

"gfycat.error.GfycatClientError: (404) Error fetching the URL"

Did the Gfycat API change recently? I know it's a valid URL because it works on the official Gfycat.com website and it creates the GIF.

I also get the same error when I do client.check_link() function.

Any ideas?

it's a 301 likely. I've just run into this. Easy fix, let me see if any forks handle it first

kristopolous commented

nope, looks like it's my job, alright.

kristopolous commented

so there should be a cascade that checks redgifs as well apparently, since this is where the split exists. Whether one would want to add some "disallow_nsfw" flag is probably a separate ticket ... I'll just patch something that assumes the user wants the content they're requesting.

there's the pr, do with it what you will.

kristopolous commented

I also version bumped it to 0.2.3 in the PR btw.

So 0.2.3 is still not available on pypi with this fix. Any idea when that's going to happen?
