Is this still working after the post-finale Fishtank site updates? I get "bad authtoken" but I prob just did something wrong.

@r3wcifer if you used your authtoken (its really long) and cookies it should work. Checked again just now. Still works.

@iAmNikola ah my bad, I overlooked the comments in the script about that, yeah sure enough it worked, geez that's pretty awesome lol

@r3wcifer Glad to hear that!

Note: If you are downloading some of the rooms with a lot of videos, you might need to reset your authtoken a couple times

so sick

alright how do i run this, please help

^

@Trainerbob23 @ehl0el Updated script. Follow the instruction and you should have it running easy.

Thanks!

Can't find 'Token?key=' request

@KumiusMaximus

Can't find 'Token?key=' request

Dig through all requests you make in your network tab and see if you can find your token in one of them. I think there are 2 different tokens so try either and see which one works.

Good luck!

Could you do a video tutorial? Cannot wrap my head around this, I'm not good with computers.

@Boogadaboogadaboogada No.

Hey, I'm wondering if it's possible to do this on android?
I can't run the python file, I downloaded some python apps to no avail.

I can get chrome in developer mode, by tapping on the version number of the chrome release I run.
But the only thing it unlocks that may be relevant that I can see, is recording traces.
If I do that I get a .gz file that I can't open swell.

Sorry for being so stupid and annoying, but I had to try to get this to work, leaving no stone unturned.

Have a nice day!
Kind regards from Odin
