fan-gopher

A CLI used to scrape information from OnlyFans, written in go.

This is to be used by other utilities that may need to be able to scrape this data, but are unable to handle the SPA / JavaScript implementation of OnlyFans.

Usage

This can be used to verify that a particular post exists and also to get the details of a particular post.

On first run, you may see output like the following:

If you are parsing out the console output JSON, it's recommended you exclude invalid JSON from your parsing.

Verification

You can use the -verify flag to verify if a post exists, like so:

./fan-gopher -postID=1234 -creatorName=onlyFansUsername -verify=true`

Its output will look like the following if the post is found:

{
    "error": false,
    "errorCode": "",
    "errorMessage": ""
}

If the post is not found, it will look like:

{
    "error": true,
    "errorCode": "POST_NOT_FOUND",
    "errorMessage": "<descriptive error message>"
}

Post Details

You can use the -get-details flag to retrieve the details of a post, like so:

./fan-gopher -postID=1234 -creatorName=onlyFansUsername -get-details=true

It will return the following should the post be found:

{
   "error":false,
   "errorCode": "",
   "errorMessage":"",
   "actorDetails":[
      {
         "actorName":"Cool Person",
         "profileImageUrl":"https://public.onlyfans.com/files/thumbs/c50/0/07/07p/07phtwjnst3thcpnkndwittbix6l8yhd1539574274/avatar.jpg"
      }
   ],
   "videoDetails":{
      "videoDescription":"This is the body of the post"
   }
}
