Does anyone know of a working patreon scraper? I tried using the AlexCSDev's PatreonDownloader but it doesnt seem to be working. Any other ideas?

It seems it really doesn't work, and it's really not an easy task for a person who hasn't studied a programming language to figure it out

These are the instructions I found to launch AlexCSdev's version:


"Figured it out I think, though I'm still struggling to get things to download. You have to download the win or linux release, unzip it, then (windows 11) shift+right click in the folder with PatreonDownloaderApp.exe. choose to launch Powershell. Then start typing PatreonDow... and then hit tab a few times until it autofills with the exe. after that, click enter should give you all the commands you can use, then simply up arrow to refill with the exe, the add " --url " followed by the url of the creator. It should start downloading a small version of chrome (chromium?) into the unzipped folder. From here though I'm stumped cause it's struggling to download files that I have access to. Good luck though!!


Testing the latest version now and it's downloading for me.

Has anyone been able to get the AlexCSdev ripper working with a Google account?
When I try and do the auth, it rejects it because the window is being controller by automation

To answer my own question, I found it easy to use
Please, Log in or Register to see links and images
and then the following command;

gallery-dl -o cookies.session_id="..." "URL"

"..." being the session_id copied from your Patreon login, and "URL"being the /posts URL for Patreon. The quote marks are necessary.
