Changing Const Values

Where are they

Default Values: The default values for constants are read from the ofscraper/const/values folder. This folder contains separate files for different types of values

• Custom Configuration (3.7.1 and above): Starting from version 3.7.1, you can override default values with custom values by setting the "custom_values" key in your configuration file.

• Environment Variables (3.10 and above): From version 3.10 onwards, you can also customize values by setting environment variables for the wanted value

What can be changed

• timeouts for requests

• number of tries for requests

• proxy support

• flags for certain process

• urls used by the program

• and much more

---

How to customize them

• To change a constant value in the config, you'll need to provide a dictionary for the custom_values option in advanced_options where the key is the constant value you want to modify and the value is the new value you'd like to assign to it

• There is no limit to how many variables can be changed

---

Example

Syntax is

Custom_Variable:Value,
Custom_Variable2:Value

In the config

• should be in advanced_options

.....
  : {
        "code-execution": false,
        "dynamic-mode-default": "deviint",
        "backend": "aio",
        "downloadbars": true,
        "cache-mode": "sqlite",
        "appendlog": false,
        "custom_values": {
            "DISCORD_THREAD_OVERRIDE": false,
            "REMOVE_UNVIEWABLE_METADATA": false,
            "API_DISPLAY": false
        },
        "sanitize_text": false,
        "temp_dir": null,
        "remove_hash_match": false,
        "infinite_loop_action_mode": false,
        "post_download_script": null,
        "disable_auto_after": false,
        "default_user_list": "main",
        "default_black_list": ""
    },
`

Limitations

• If you change any OFSCRAPER_*_LIST value you will need to provide the new list manually with --user-list or change default_user_list

• changes in KEY_OPTIONS are not accepted in args

• configFile and configPath are not changeable
