This is a rewrite/refactoring of Avnsx's original Fansly Downloader. Fansly Downloader NG supports new features:

• Full command-line support for all options
• config.ini not required to start the program anymore - a config.ini with all program defaults will be generated automatically
• Support for minimal config.ini files - missing options will be added from program defaults automatically
• True multi-user support - put one or more creators as a list into config.ini (username = creator1, creator2, creator3) or supply via command-line
• Run it in non-interactive mode (-ni) without any user intervention - eg. when downloading while being away from the computer
• You may also run it in fully silent mode without the close prompt at the very end (-ni -npox) - eg. running Fansly Downloader NG from another script or from a scheduled task/cron job
• Logs all relevant messages (Info, Warning, Error, ...) of the last few sessions to fansly_downloader_ng.log. A history of 5 log files with a maximum size of 1 MiB will be preserved and can be deleted at your own discretion.
• Easier-to-extend, modern, modular and robust codebase
• It doesn't care about starring the repository

There are still pieces missing like an appropriate wiki update.

Configuration Settings in detail

Detailed description on each of the components of this software

⚠️ Due to a hashing bug duplicate videos might be downloaded if a creator re-posts a lot. Downloaded videos will have to be renamed in a future version when video hashing is perfected.

Fix for update checks (hopefully) and disabled SSL verification for WebSockets due to a specific issue. Things are complicated for you now, check key must be deciphered by evaluating a JavaScript expression.

For more details and history see: Release Notes

On Windows you can just download and run the executable version - skip the entire setup section and go directly to Quick Start.

If your operating system is not compatible with executable versions of Fansly Downloader NG (only Windows supported for .exe) or you want to use the Python sources directly please download and extract or clone the repository and ensure that Python 3.11+ is installed on your system.

Note: Using a Python virtual environment is recommended but out-of-scope of this guide.

Once Python is installed, you can then proceed by installing the required packages using Python's package manager ("pip3"/"pip") from your system's terminal:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

On Windows pip3 is just called pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Developers should also install requirements-dev.txt:

pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

For Linux operating systems you may need to install the Python Tkinter module separately by using the command:

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

On Windows and macOS the Tkinter module is typically included in the Python installer itself.

After all requirements are met run fansly_downloader_ng.py.

Raw Python code versions of Fansly Downloader NG do not receive automatic updates. If an update is available you will be notified but need to manually download and set-up the current repository again.

Follow these steps to quickly get started with either the Python or the Executable:

1. Download the latest version of Fansly Downloader NG by choosing one of the options below:

   • Windows exclusive executable version - Fansly Downloader NG.exe
   • Python code version - fansly_downloader_ng.py

   and extract the files from the zip folder.

2. Ensure that you have recently logged into your Fansly account and accessed the Fansly website using one of the following web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, or Opera GX on the operating systems Windows 10/11, macOS or Linux.

3. Open and run the Fansly Downloader NG.exe file by clicking on it or run fansly_downloader_ng.py from a terminal. This will initiate the interactive setup tutorial for the configuration file called config.ini.

4. After values for the targeted creators Username, your Fansly account Authorization Token and your web browser's User-Agent are filled you're good to go 🎉! See the manual set-up tutorial if anything could not be configured automatically.

Once you have completed the initial configuration of Fansly Downloader NG, for every future use case, you will only need to adapt the creator(s) in Targeted Creator > Username section in the config.ini using a text editor of your choice. Additional settings can also be found in the config.ini file, which are documented in the Wiki page.

Do you have any unanswered questions or want to know more about Fansly Downloader NG? Head over to the Wiki or check if your topic was mentioned in Discussions or Issues

• Q: "Is Fansly Downloader NG exclusive to Windows?"

• A: No, Fansly Downloader NG can be ran on Windows, MacOS or Linux. It's just that the executable version of the downloader, is currently only being distributed for the windows 10 & 11 operating systems. You can use Fansly Downloader NG from the raw Python sources on any other operating system and it'll behave the exact same as the Windows executable version.

• Q: "Is it possible to download Fansly files on a mobile device?"

• A: Unfortunately, downloading Fansly files on a mobile device is currently not supported by Fansly Downloader NG or any other available means.

• Q: "Why do some executables show detections on them in VirusTotal?"

• A: The Fansly Downloader NG executables are not digitally signed as software certificates are very expensive. Thus the executables tend to produce a lot of false positives (invalid detections). Antivirus providers can be mailed to update their detections but not all do care. If you're knowledgeable with the Python programming language you can decompile a PyInstaller executable such as Fansly Downloader NG using a tool like uncompyle6 - and assure yourself that no harmful code is included. Or you could just create your own PyInstaller executable.

• Q: "Could you add X feature or do X change?"

• A: I'm regrettably very limited on time and thus primarily do stuff I find useful myself. You can contribute code by opening a pull request

• Q: "Will you add any payment bypassing features to Fansly Downloader NG?"

• A: No, as the intention of this repository is not to harm Fansly or it's content creators.

• Q: "Is there a possibility of being banned?" A: While there are no guarantees, it's worth noting that among the 24.000+ previous users, there have been no reported incidents.

Please note that "Issue" tickets are reserved for reporting genuine or suspected bugs in the codebase of the downloader which require attention from the developer. They are not for general computer user problems.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to @liviaerxin for their invaluable contribution in providing the cross-platform package plyvel. Due to these builds Fansly downloader NG's initial interactive cross-platform setup has become a reality.
