If you landed here, you'll unfortunately have to spend a handful of minutes on configuring Fansly Downloader NG manually. This process is only required to be done once at the very first launch of Fansly Downloader NG! So don't worry!

Click me if you want to know why this is required!

Manual Set Up

➡️ Make sure you have registered an account on Fansly and are currently logged into it with your webbrowser❗

Option 1: Console Tab [Effortless & Recommended]

  1. Go to whatever Fansly creator's account page and open your browser's developer console (usually: <F12> key)
  2. If your browsers DevTools have not opened on the Console Tab, navigate to it
  3. Paste the following code in there & press Enter: 
    console.clear(); // cleanup console
const activeSession = localStorage.getItem("session_active_session"); // get required key
const { token } = JSON.parse(activeSession); // parse the json data
console.log('%c➡️ Authorization_Token =', 'font-size: 12px; color: limegreen; font-weight: bold;', token); // show token
console.log('%c➡️ User_Agent =', 'font-size: 12px; color: yellow; font-weight: bold;', navigator.userAgent); // show user-agent
  4. The code should now visually display you the required authorization token & your browsers user-agent, inside the browser console
  5. Open fansly scrapers config.ini file with any text editor and paste both values, into their respective fields inside the config file & save it
  6. Congratulations 🎉 Now just type in a name for [TargetedCreator] > Username= and you're good to go!

Option 2: Network Tab [A little more advanced]

  1. Go to whatever Fansly creator's account page and open your browser's developer console (usually: <F12> key)
  2. Click on the "Network" tab in your developer console and reload the website by using the rotating arrow symbol to the left of your browsers address bar(Key: F5), while having the developer console open. Now do the steps on the following picture:
  3. Developer Tools Instruction
  4. 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:.
  5. Replace the value for [TargetedCreator] > Username= with whatever content creator you wish to download content from.
  6. Save the config.ini file(into the same directory as fansly scraper) with the changes you've done to it, close it & then start up fansly scraper.

After completing any of the configuration tutorials Quick Start / Getting Started you'll only need to change the creator name(s) under Targeted Creator > Username in config.ini in the future.
