FAQ/Common Issues

PreviousCDM issuesNextPage 1

Last updated 1 year ago

1. Missing Post

Certain models delete content, which restricts OF-Scraper from accessing this specific content.


2. Number of users doesn't match account number

Every time you scroll down, the API requests 10 names, but frequently, fewer than 10 names are returned

Example

Account: 400 total subs

Active Accounts

This figure is expected to be more accurate, but it seems to update according to a schedule, so it might be slightly off until synchronization occurs.

Expired and ALL

The count here can be significantly impacted by expired subscriptions.

For instance, an account may indicate it has 400 subscribers, but as OnlyFans iterates through each offset [0, 10, 20, 30,...390], some offsets won't return 10 numbers, ultimately reducing the final count.


3. Missing Models

Before creating an issue, ensure that you're using the latest version available.


4. Lots of tempvideo or tempaudio files

Ensure your CDM (Content Decryption Module) is set up correctly


5. Something is not working

Run the command to display the output in the console

ofscraper --output debug

Alternatively, run the command to output to your configuration folder.

ofscraper --log debug

Send the logs to a Discord channel or create a GitHub issue


6. MP4Decrypt and FFMPEG

The mentioned programs below are necessary for downloading content, and they are compatible across various platforms.

Binaries

If manually downloading simply provide OF-Scraper with the full path to the program in the configuration file

Copying path on windows

You can use the following software if windows does not provide an easy way to do this


7. ofscraper not found

This generally means that you need to update your PATH


8. Can this download locked content

Yes.....if it was unlocked before.


9. Status Down

This usually indicates that your authentication information is incorrect, or you've been signed out from OnlyFans


10. 404 Response

This could imply that the content you're attempting to scrape is no longer available. It might also signal that the model has deleted her account, making it inaccessible on the platform.


11. Request taking a long time

If a request fails, OF-Scraper will pause and make several retry attempts. Frequent retries could extend the duration of certain runs.

Version 3.7 has a built in timelimit on requests to prevent them for being stuck forever However you can change the const value to adjust these values to your need


12. 429 Response

  • This error may stem from excessive requests, particularly when auto-liking/unliking.

  • The maximum appears to be 1000 per day.


13. 409 Response

You might observe cases where content is unavailable on the OnlyFans site, often indicated by placeholders or non-loading media.

VPN users might experience this based on the VPN server they're connected to. Consequently, this also affects the API and OF-Scraper's ability to scrape content.

The most effective solution would be to switch VPN servers or allow some time for the situation to reset.


14. Scrape entire paid page or --scape-paid should I do it

The amount of content you've purchased largely determines this

Does the regular scraper get purchased content?

Yes, if you've chosen "purchased," all purchased content for the selected models will be scraped. This is accomplished by using the models' usernames as input on the purchase page.

Then why the prompt

Certain models may have deleted accounts, making it necessary to scan the entire purchase page to access their purchases. Since they lack a name to use as input, a thorough scan becomes necessary.

When would you use to use it

Personally, I rarely use this setting. However, if your scans are infrequent, it might be a good idea to turn it on.

I'd also recommend using it during your initial scan.

When would you not use it

If you're conducting frequent scans, such as one per day, it's alright to turn it off for most scans


15. FFmpeg shared library not found Error

Example: : version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found

Cause

Missing shared libraries

This issue appears to only affect Linux systems

Fix

Obtain the GPL non-shared release version.

Some Info

  • using the version in your Linux Repo may not work
