How do you actually use this?

So I've cloned the repository, installed the dependencies via ./run.sh and the server runs successfully. Unfortunately, now I am not sure how to use it or how to add creators to settings.py to scrape from. All I've changed in settings.py is the sqlite_db_path, dldCtntPath, and I filled in username and password with my Patreon login info (because I'm only scraping from Patreon).

I've gotten some errors when it tries to fetch content, such as this. In an attempt to try and fix this problem, I commented out other JOBS in main.py (except pts.GetPatreon). This didn't seem to do anything. I'm really at a loss as to how I'm supposed to use it and these errors seem more developer-friendly than user-friendly, no offense. I'd appreciate any help on how to use this tool properly for scraping Patreon content.

Hmmm, it looks like patreon has changed their login API. They do seem to do this fairly frequently. I'll have to look at what happened, and see about fixing it.

The target audience is exactly one person (me) who is also a developer.

PRs for better error outputs are welcome!

I understand, I may contribute some PRs when I take the time to learn Python, haha ;D
