Okay so I don't know if anyone else has ran into this yet. I currently use "onlyfans-dl" version 2 for scraping as mentioned previously and the old google extension "Downloader for onlyfans"
There is an account i'm subscribed to not sure if anyone else Jozyblows
Since April 30th - it seems that's when she turned on DRM protection. as since then any new video I haven't been able to scrape or download. When I have tried to scrape her profile I get the following message and as we know the download button through the "downloader for onlyfans" extension is no longer showing up on these
However today 05/04/2023 - she just posted a video and I now have the download video option through the browser extension, I am also able to right click on the video with the "enable right click extension" and it does have an option to download a video, so if my assumption is correct she "may" have turned her DRM protection off and was able to download the video without issue.
However when I attempted to run the onlyfans-dl scraper i still get the same error message above, as well as I noticed the scraper is not scraping even the new images as well
So my assumption is that if a creator turns on DRM and then at a later point turns DRM off it seems at least with this partcular scraper i still can't scrape. I would assume that if a creator turns off DRM all should be good with scraping.
if anyone else is able to replicate the same occurrence i am curious, i don't have any other scrapers that I can test with to see if it's just failing with this one specific scraper or if its happen across all that if a creator turns on DRM and then turns DRM off if all scrapers still can't scrape.
just thought i would post an update of my experience today
