404 Not Found for dynamicRules.json on startup (Version 3.2.4)

Open Julez8850 opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

### Issue Description:

Problem Description: When starting ofscraper (version 3.2.4), the application consistently fails to initialize due to a 404 Not Found error when attempting to retrieve the dynamicRules.json file from GitHub. This prevents any further operation, including authentication and content downloads.

Full Error Traceback:

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Activate the ofscraper_env virtual environment.
  2. Run ofscraper.exe from the command line.
  3. The error appears immediately upon startup before any menu prompts.

Observations & Troubleshooting:

  • Manual URL Check: I have manually tried accessing the problematic URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deviint/onlyfans-dynamic-rules/main/dynamicRules.json in a web browser (Firefox). This also returns a 404 Not Found error, confirming that the file is not available at that location.
  • ofscraper Version: ofscraper version 3.2.4 is installed.
  • Update Attempt: Running pip install --upgrade ofscraper confirms that ofscraper is already at the latest version (Requirement already satisfied: ofscraper in ... (3.2.4)).
  • auth.json: My auth.json file has been manually corrected to include complete and up-to-date user_agent and cookie information, but this issue occurs before authentication is even attempted.

Expected Behavior: ofscraper should start successfully and proceed to the main menu without encountering external file download errors.

Environment:

  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • ofscraper Version: 3.2.4
  • Python Version: Python 3.10
  • Browser used for auth extraction: Firefox

Additional Context: This appears to be an issue with an outdated or incorrect URL for dynamicRules.json within the ofscraper codebase, as the file is genuinely not found on GitHub.

Not to be rude but you obviously didn't read any of the documentation. That version you have is extremely old and not supported anymore (latest ofscraper version is 3.13.8). You also have an unsupported version of python (recommend version is 3.11.6).

Closing the issue dynamic rules are updated in newer version or manually changeable
