[Pixiv] How do I download user metadata?

[SamusAranX]

I just switched from my own (now broken) pixiv downloader script to gallery-dl and it's great so far. My only issue is that I can't find a configuration option to make gallery-dl download a user's entire profile metadata.

Here's what my own script put out:

{
	"user": {
		"id": 1234567890,
		"name": "example",
		"account": "user_example",
		"profile_image_urls": {
			"medium": "https://i.pximg.net/user-profile/img/..."
		},
		"comment": "comment goes here",
		"is_followed": false
	},
	"profile": {
		"webpage": null,
		"gender": "",
		"birth": "",
		"birth_day": "",
		"birth_year": 0,
		"region": "",
		"address_id": 0,
		"country_code": "",
		"job": "",
		"job_id": 0,
		"total_follow_users": 0,
		"total_mypixiv_users": 0,
		"total_illusts": 0,
		"total_manga": 0,
		"total_novels": 0,
		"total_illust_bookmarks_public": 0,
		"total_illust_series": 0,
		"total_novel_series": 0,
		"background_image_url": null,
		"twitter_account": "example",
		"twitter_url": "https://twitter.com/example",
		"pawoo_url": null,
		"is_premium": false,
		"is_using_custom_profile_image": true
	},
	"profile_publicity": {
		"gender": "public",
		"region": "public",
		"birth_day": "public",
		"birth_year": "public",
		"job": "public",
		"pawoo": true
	},
	"workspace": {
		"pc": "",
		"monitor": "",
		"tool": "",
		"scanner": "",
		"tablet": "",
		"mouse": "",
		"printer": "",
		"desktop": "",
		"music": "",
		"desk": "",
		"chair": "",
		"comment": "",
		"workspace_image_url": null
	}
}

and here's what gallery-dl outputs, but only if I have it download avatars or backgrounds as well:

{
    "category": "pixiv",
    "create_date": null,
    "date": null,
    "height": 0,
    "id": "avatar",
    "num": 0,
    "page_count": 1,
    "rating": "General",
    "sanity_level": 0,
    "subcategory": "user",
    "suffix": "",
    "tags": [],
    "title": "avatar",
    "type": "avatar",
    "user": {
        "account": "user_example",
        "comment": "comment goes here",
        "id": 1234567890,
        "is_followed": false,
        "name": "example",
        "profile_image_urls": {
            "medium": "https://i.pximg.net/user-profile/img/..."
        }
    },
    "width": 0,
    "x_restrict": 0
}

Is there an option that I missed?

Pixiv has a metadata option that fetches extended user profile data.

It currently only works for /artworks URLs, and it previously only slightly extended the user field. With commit 4005171 it now also provides all the other fields (profile, profile_publicity, workspace).
