Steps

1. Visit the OnlyFans Profile media area
2. Get the video media "into the browser"
3. Copy the URL & use yt-dlp to download

Step 1: Visit the OnlyFans Profile media area

• Go to the profile's "media area" at https://onlyfans.com/USERNAME/media
• Select "photo" or "video" or whatever type of media you're trying to download
• Open devtools to the network tab (right click > inspect > network) & enable "preserve logs"

Step 2: Get the video media "into the browser"

OnlyFans doesn't actually put video embeds or video elements into the pages of the profiles, they just put images and when you click on them it initiates the video player. For this reason you have to actually play the video before the downloadable content will be in your network requests.

• Click "play" on a video you want to download
• Filter for mp4
• Click the entry with Content-Type: video/mp4 and copy the Request URL (you’ll see Policy=, Signature=, Key-Pair-Id=).

Step 3: Copy the URL & use yt-dlp to download

• Download the video using yt-dlp in your Terminal program
