Mandatory Tutorial

Read the #FAQ at the bottom of this page before submitting a issue.

Running the app locally

From the project folder open Windows Powershell/Terminal and run the commands below:

Installation commands:

Poetry Installation

pip install poetry

poetry install --no-dev

Start:

python start_ofd.py | python3 start_ofd.py | python3.10 start_ofd.py | poetry run python ./start_ofd.py | double click start_ofd.py

If you're experimenting auth loops, stuck downloads, run the program with python -v start_ofd.py and you may see which errors you're getting.

---

Open and edit:

.profiles/default/auth.json

[auth]

You have to fill in the following:

• {"cookie":"cookie_value"}
• {"x_bc":"x-bc_value"}
• {"user_agent":"user-agent_value"}

Go to www.onlyfans.com and login, open the network debugger, then check the image below on how to get said above auth values. Using Chrome for this process is recommended, as other browsers sometimes have issues producing values that will auth properly.

Your auth config should look similar to this

If you get auth attempt errors, only YOU can fix it unless you're willing to let me into your account so I can see if it's working or not.

Note: If active is set to False, the script will ignore the profile.

USAGE

python start_ofd.py | python3 start_ofd.py | poetry run python ./start_ofd.py | double click start_ofd.py

Enter in inputs as prompted by console.

OPTIONAL

Open:

config.json (Open with a texteditor)

[settings]

profile_directories:

Where your account information is stored (auth.json).

Default = [".profiles"]

If you're going to fill, please remember to use forward ("/") slashes only.

download_directories:

Where downloaded content is stored.

Default = [".sites"]

If you're going to fill, please remember to use forward ("/") slashes only.

You can add multiple directories and the script will automatically rollover to the next directory if the current is full.

metadata_directories:

Where metadata content is stored.

Default = [".sites"]

If you're going to fill, please remember to use forward ("/") slashes only.

Automatic rollover not supported yet.

path_formatting:

Overview for file_directory_format, filename_format and metadata_directory_format

{site_name} = The site you're scraping.

{first_letter} = First letter of the model you're scraping.

{post_id} = The posts' ID.

{media_id} = The media's ID.

{profile_username} = Your account's username.

{model_username} = The model's username.

{api_type} = Posts, Messages, etc.

{filename} = The media's filename.

{value} = Value of the content. Paid or Free.

{text} = The media's text.

{date} = The post's creation date.

{ext} = The media's file extension.

Don't use the text variable. If you do, enjoy emojis in your filepaths and errors lmao.

file_directory_format:

This puts each media file into a folder.

The list below are unique identifiers that you must include.

You can choose one or more.

Default = "{site_name}/{model_username}/{api_type}/{value}/{media_type}"
Default Translated = "OnlyFans/belledelphine/Posts/Free/Images"

{model_username} = belledelphine

filename_format:

Usage: Format for a filename

The list below are unique identifiers that you must include.

You must choose one or more.

Default = "{filename}.{ext}"
Default Translated = "5fb5a5e4b4ce6c47ce2b4_source.mp4"

{filename} = 5fb5a5e4b4ce6c47ce2b4_source
{media_id} = 133742069

metadata_directory_format:

Usage: Filepath for metadata. It's tied with download_directories so ignore metadata_directories in the config.

The list below are unique identifiers that you must include.

You must choose one or more.

Default = "{site_name}/{model_username}/Metadata"
Default Translated = "OnlyFans/belledelphine/Metadata"

{model_username} = belledelphine

text_length:

Usage: When you use {text} in filename_format, a limit of how many characters can be set by inputting a number.

Default = ""
Ideal = "50"
Max = "255"

The ideal is actually 0.

video_quality:

Usage: Select the resolution of the video.

Default = "source"
720p = "720" | "720p"
240p = "240" | "240p"

auto_profile_choice:

Types: str|int

Default = ""

If you've got a profile folder named "user_one", set auto_profile_choice to "user_one" and it will choose it automatically.

If you live in the USA and you want to use the incorrect format, use the following:

"%m-%d-%Y"

max_threads:

Default = -1

When number is set below 1, it will use all threads.
Set a number higher than 0 to limit threads.

min_drive_space:

Default = 0
Type: Float

Space is calculated in GBs.
0.5 is 500mb, 1 is 1gb,etc.
When a drive goes below minimum drive space, it will move onto the next drive or go into an infinite loop until drive is above the minimum space.

webhooks:

Default = []

Supported webhooks:
Discord

Data is sent whenever you've completely downloaded a model.
You can also put in your own custom url and parse the data.
Need another webhook? Open an issue.

If set to true the scraper run once and exit upon completion, otherwise the scraper will give the option to run again. This is useful if the scraper is being executed by a cron job or another script.

infinite_loop:

Default = true

If set to false, the script will run once and ask you to input anything to continue.

loop_timeout:

Default = 0

When infinite_loop is set to true this will set the time in seconds to pause the loop in between runs.

boards:

Default = []
Example = ["s", "gif"]

Input boards names that you want to automatically scrape.

This setting will not include any paid or free accounts in your subscription list.

Example: "ignore_type": "paid"

This choice will not include any accounts that you've paid for.

export_metadata:

Default = true

Set to false if you don't want to save metadata.

blacklist_name:

Default = ""
Example = ["Blacklisted"]
Example = "Blacklisted,alsoforbidden"

This setting allows you to remove usernames when you choose the "scrap all" option by using lists or targetting specific usernames.

1. Go to https://onlyfans.com/my/lists and create a new list; you can name it whatever you want but I called mine "Blacklisted".
Add the list's name to the config.
Example: "blacklist_name": "Blacklisted"

2. Or simply put the username of the content creator in the list.

Enjoy the free content. | This has been patched lol.

Do OnlyFans or OnlyFans models know I'm using this script?

OnlyFans may know that you're using this script, but I try to keep it as anon as possible.

Generally, models will not know unless OnlyFans tells them but other than that there is identifiable information in the metadata folder which contains your IP address, so don't share it unless you're using a proxy/vpn or just don't care.

Do you collect session information?

No. The code is on Github which allows you to audit the codebase yourself. You can use wireshark or any other network analysis program to verify the outgoing connections are respective to the modules you chose.
