>>59475>ignoranceAh, I see. Well if you want to tediously download stuff from OnlyFans be my guest but know you cannot complain about it since you knowingly ignore the efficient method.
For anyone interested here is what the scraper does:
The scraper is a bot, a bot designed to download content in bulk on your behalf. The bot does this by using your username, session cookie, and user agent so it pretend to be you while accessing OnlyFans. We all know what usernames are but what are session cookies? A temporary file created by your web browser, it is stored on your computer it is used (in this case) as a form of credential for OnlyFans so it knows who you are while your browsing the website. Good yo know, now what is a user agent? Software that helps a user browse the internet, the most prominent examples of a user agent is a web browser.
With all that said when you run the scraper here is what happens:
OnlyFans: “Who are you?”
Bot: “I am ‘dicklorde128’”
OnlyFans: “Proof?”
Bot: “Here is my session cookie and user agent.”
OnlyFans: “Okay.”
Bot: “I would like to download all images and videos from luxurynoir.”
OnlyFans: “Okay.”
The IT staff at OnlyFans aren’t dumb they know you’re running a bot (because the bot is requesting stuff really fast – far faster than what a human is capable of doing), downloading content isn’t illegal but OnlyFans doesn’t condone it either so they’re in an arms race against the programmers at GitHub to make it difficult to use bots. Though I am not a programmer helping with the project I do want to spread the word of this project because it’s easy to use, the most amount of work you’ll have to do is to update your session cookie and user agent every once in a while (otherwise the bot cannot access OnlyFans). If you don’t want to use it because command-line command UI looks spooky and/or you’re paranoid then be my guest. Just know I’ll laugh at you as you tediously download files individually.
