Guide Onlyfans Downloading - A complete guide for PC and Mobile

I recently subbed to someone in OnlyFans and, following a guide, used SubScraper (with proper CDM keys) to get all the media. Do I need to do any file cleanup or wait some time to post to have less risk of legal action or stuff like that? I don't really know if/how they use anything embedded in files or metadata do identify leakers.

I tried finding out about this by searching in the guides and threads but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks for helping out a newbie!
 
Not leaking personal content, or content that was explicitly SENT to (only) you is a good safety step ... (the DM'd PPVs or other pics/vids that go out as a mass message to all subscribers are fine to share, though...) ... apart from that... I haven't actually done a deep-dive into any video/picture file, to say if there even IS any meta data that could track the downloading account ... 🙊 ... but I somewhat doubt it, else there'd have been more backlash over OFDL, already...
 
I made a open source tool to make the downloading a bit more easy: https://github.com/Noa3/onlyfans-dl-2

The source is based from a existing fork and got a big rework to be more accessible.
You can simply log in with the intern browser and it catches what it needs. Then go to the download page, select which person,where to save and simply press start.
(Requires python3 to run, because of the original file)

Hope this helps you to preserve good content!
 
Hi, I would really love to start sharing content again but having a hard time downloading after Expo and Go/Streamfork went haywire. Can someone tell me the best PAID way to download DRM through onlyfans? I can’t code so need something simple
 
I've added support for Fansly on SubScraper, also about to push more QoL changes and bug fixes to SubNabbit. We're still sorting out the Discord situation of there being 2 Discord servers (SubNabbit & SubScraper) so support is handled in both right now. Recently got in contact with the OFDL team and started working together which is why there are 2 Discord servers now, SubScraper Discord used to be the OFDL Discord.
 
Getting this error in the logs when trying to download, anyone know a fix? For context: i downloaded like 10 individual message links and 3 videos downloaded and the rest didnt.

Anyone having problems scrolling up in the dm box trying to look for videos and trying to download from previous days ago?
 
I have the same issue! Have you solved it yet? It always relies me the check the logs when downloading DRM content
 
you probably need the cdm keys for drm content

the way i resolved my 403 forbidden message when downloading with ofdl was to turn off my vpn.
 
Hi, drm and GitHub is most of the time a bad combination. This tools isn't to do this on its own, you could ask a local installed Ai to modify this for you.
 
Yes cdm keys expire from time to time. If you cant download any videos thats usually a sign
 
Sharing this idea with you guys so you can explore it. Not sure if anyone's done something similar.

Personally, I haven't used OnlyFans in a long time, and I'm not a developer, I just use AI to get a few things done. That's how I built this downloader, which runs almost entirely in the browser, with two exceptions: CORS and DRM.

The smart part (building auth headers, generating the signature the API requires with Web Crypto, listing posts/chats/subscriptions, and downloading files straight from the CDN) is all front-end JavaScript.

The server is just a small Node proxy to handle CORS. The other exception is DRM-protected content (Widevine), which needs a CDM (a device.wvd file, I used the one available here) and decryption outside the browser, in Node.

 
Have you tried downloaded the posts individually?

For people getting 403 errors you are probably being blocked for downloading too fast. Limit your speed.
