FAQ

• Will I be banned from deviantArt if I use dagr.py? Not likely. However, dagr.py could be blocked at any time. If you want to be sure your main account isn't banned, use a disposable account and a proxy.

• The deviantArt page says a deviant has 145 deviations but the program can only find 139! Sometimes deviantArt reports the wrong number of deviations in a gallery. This is because you can submit deviations exclusively to a group without having it show up in your gallery.

• Why can I not download mature deviations? You must use a deviantArt account that is able to view such deviations, and has "Show Deviations with Mature Content" enabled under Settings > Browsing.
