Simply scrape / download all the media from an fansly account.

Last update: Jan 1, 2023

Overview

Description

On click code, to scrape your favorite fansly creators media content. After you've ran the code, it'll create a folder named CreatorName_fansly in the same directory you launched the code from. That folder will have two sub-folders called Pictures & Videos, which will contain the downloaded content sorted into them. This is pretty useful for example; if you dislike the website theming and would like to view the media on your local machine instead. This code does not bypass any paywalls & no end user information is collected during usage.

How To

If you have Python installed download the GitHub repository, else use the Executable version
Make sure you have registered an account on fansly and are logged in with it in your browser or you'll not be able to get a authorization token from Developer Console.
Go to whatever creators account page and open your browsers developer console (Most often Key: F12)
Reload the website by using the rotating arrow symbol to the left of your browsers search bar(Key: F5), while the developer console is open. Now do the steps on the following picture:
Now paste both of the strings - that were on the right side of authorization: & User-Agent: - which you just copied, as shown in the picture above. Into the configuration file (config.ini) and replace the two strings with their corresponding values. (1. [MyAccount] > Authorization_Token= paste the value for authorization:; 2. [MyAccount] > User_Agent= paste the value for User-Agent:.
Replace the value for [TargetedCreator] > Username= with whatever content creator you wish.
Save the config.ini file with the changes you've done to it, close it & then start up fansly scraper.

From now on, you'll only need to re-do step 7 for every future use case.

Not enough content downloaded? Enable media previews. (Download_Media_Previews to True in the configuration file)

You can turn Open_Folder_When_Finished to False; if you no longer wish the download folder to automatically open after code completion.

Installation

You can just install the Executable version. Else you'll need to install python (ticking pip in installer) and paste below in cmd.exe.

pip install requests loguru imagehash pillow

Support

Dependant on how many people show me that they're liking the code by giving ⭐ 's on this repo, I'll expand functionality & push more quality of life updates. Would you like to help out more? Any crypto donations are welcome!

Scraper Not Downloading Media From Messages

As title suggests, I am having trouble downloading media from messages. The scraper provides the line "No scrapable media found in messages" even though there is plenty of media to download from messages. Please help.

Incomplete download

Hello,

I noticed that the videos and photos older than a specific date (July 14 2022) were not downloaded.

What could be the reason for this?

Is there a way to specify media download for a specific date range?

Thanks and congrats for this wonderful tool.

API Returned unauthorized

This started happening after updating to 0.3.4. The error message would show "Used authorization token" but it's completely different from the actual cookie. Pretty much like this issue. https://github.com/Avnsx/fansly/issues/30

API returned unauthorized

Hey, firstly thank you for this, it's really a nice tool to use ! I used it several times without issues. I didnt change anything but now I have this message : [11]ERROR | 20:56 || API returned unauthorized. This is most likely because of a wrong authorization token, in the configuration file.

But I cant change the authorization token.

Can you tell me what to do there ? Thank you very much !

Did I miss a step

I used the auto config. Entered the name I wanted. Ran the scraper, the scraper couldn't find the folder where to download. It didn't create one so I did using the exact name and interior folder names. It ran saying it was downloading a bunch of files, but once fully finished only videos were downloaded.

I double checked the folder names and they are exactly like the prompt. At first I thought I was due to the folder, but since the videos are downloading I am very confused why the photos are not.

Naming files by date posted feature?

Hello! I'm just wondering if it's possible to have an option to add the post date to the file name? With all the ones I've downloaded so far, all of the files seem to be out of order according to the creator's video/image set.

Getting Error When Running

When I run the scraper I get the error " "'TargetedCreator'" is missing or malformed in the configuration file! Read the ReadMe file for assistance."

I copied the authorization and User-Agent from the dev tools as explained in the ReadMe but I still get the error. Should they be in quotes or a space between the = and the information I am putting into the config file?

Doesn't download all posts; Subscribed content is missing

There are posts that aren't downloaded, it also says 218 duplicates declined! Those 218 could be mistaken for a duplicate but they aren't those are missing posts photos and I'm pretty sure. Wouldn't it be good if there was an option in the config "Put duplicates in separate folder", but it still downloads the duplicates?

Either way it's missing posts!

Executable randomly closes; due to being Rate Limited

I leave it running in the background and after some downloads it simply closes (it's far from having downloaded everything). I'm using Windows 11 and set it to run as admin (without admin it also would close after a bit)
