pornhub-comments

Get comments from Pornhub videos

Requirements

• Python 3.6 at least
• python-requests
• python-bs4
• python-js2py (optional) Sometimes Pornhub doesn't give you the page you requested, instead it serves a page with some Javascript on it that calculates a cookie value and only lets you continue with that cookie. In a web browser this isn't a problem, it just takes a few seconds longer to load and you don't usually notice. pornhub_comments.py works without this dependency but will fail if it encounters this behaviour.

Usage

python3 pornhub_comments.py [-h] [-c] [-x URL] [-o TEMPLATE] URL [URL ...]

Options

• -h, --help Help
• -c, --skip-users Don't download information about commenters. This is significantly faster for videos with lots of comments.
• -x, --proxy URL of the proxy server to use
• -o, --output Output filename template, default '{title}-{video_id}.json'

Output template keys

• video_id, e.g. ph5d797f173d256
• numeric_id, e.g. 247797731
• title, e.g. 素人,えんじょ,JK,フェラ,手コキ,射精,制服

Example usage

• python3 pornhub_comments.py https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5d797f173d256
• python3 pornhub_comments.py ph5d797f173d256

Output

Output is JSON and looks like this:

{
  "video": {..},
  "n_comments": ..,
  "comments": [..],
  "users": {..}
}

There's an example of this in the repo.

n_comments is the number of comments as indicated by Pornhub. There's no guarantee that it means anything.

Usage within Python

import requests
import pornhub_comments

session = requests.session() # optional
comments = pornhub_comments.get_comments('https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5d797f173d256', session=session)

To do

• More explanatory comments
• Progress bar
• Option to download in most recent order
• Properly sanitize filenames
