An overview of what's happening - from news and updates to planned maintenance and known bugs.
After +/- 2 months of development, the whole project will migrate to the AdonisJS framework. To prepare for this major update the site will be down for some time.
When? Somewhere beginning december.
How long? Unknown.
Changelog will be posted after everything is back up and running.
Fixed a bug where it'd stop downloading if it encountered a large video due a timeout
Changes:
On the 25th of september I received a bug report that downloading results in "An error occured: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input". The most likely cause is that you're authenticating yourself with old credentials. It also only triggers on DRM media.
I've added an alert about this but removed it in this update. It will show in the live status instead and it'll continue downloading in stead of breaking.
Changes:
It's finally here! I'm sure a lot of people waited for this, so you're welcome.
This support only applies on posts as I've not encountered DRM media in other communcation channels (eg private messages), when this changes, support will change too accordingly.
it used to download "covers"/thumbnails of videos but now it will download the full videos instead.
In case of pictures, it already downloaded that before but you might see a quality update here as it now downloads the direct source of the picture.
This has been a big and challenging update so I'll monitor your mails and logs on the server for any bugs.
The next big thing is an update to a framework; I want to try something new so it'll be AdonisJS if you're curious. Let's see if NodeJS/typescript is more fun than PHP (I'll still love PHP the most)
Yes, I confirm - DRM downloads aren't supported for now.
Before this update, DRM media were skipped or not taken into account. From this update this brings a little change: the thumbnails of those media will get downloaded in stead of nothing. Full DRM downloading will be looked at and will be implemented in a later update.
All work in progress features are done. Now we can move forward and think about the future. But what would that be?
First of all the temporary discount that was valid untill all WIPs are finished is now valid till 16 august. So this is your last chance to subscribe for a lower price (for 3 months straight).
After 16 august, the price will be unchanged for ever.
Well, we'll have to see about that but as for now, there's nothing planned.
This still could be considered after the hick-up i've encountered (see blog post "Remaining WIP features") but only time will tell.
This section is gonna have technical talk but as for the whole service itself I got these plans:
The time has come! Todays update contains:
You can opt-in or out whenever you want. A mail contains the content of a blog post so you're immediately up-to-date.
For people who are interested, I've got some screenshots about it. It's gonna look like this but some details might change.
After extended periods of testing and researching, the upcoming feature:
.. might not make it to the service. Lets talk about it in depth:
At first I've been able to retrieve almost every media on loyalfans but while testing something happened to my test loyalfans account, and it might happen to your account too.
New:
Known issue:
Added the possibility to generate embeds via API, can be used in an iframe or a normal GET request - which returns a html page. With this feature developers can show onlyfans profile as card on their own website for example.
It supports dark mode if the device that visits the embed has dark mode enabled.
Preview (open in new tab or go to API page to see fully):
