                        download using server defined filenames

                        parse post descriptions for external links
  -a, --autostart-crawljob
                        make links autostart when added to JDownloader

  -f, --download-fanclubs
                        download posts from all followed fanclubs

When parsing for external links using -x, a .crawljob file is created in your root directory (either the directory provided with -o or the directory the script is being run from) that can be parsed by JDownloader. As posts are parsed, links will be appended and assigned their appropriate post directories for download. You can import this file manually into JDownloader (File -> Load Linkcontainer) or setup the Folder Watch plugin to watch your root directory for .crawljob files.

About Session Cookies

Due to recent changes imposed by Fantia, providing an email and password to login from the command line is no longer supported. In order to login, you will need to provide the _session_id cookie for your Fantia login session using -c/--cookie. After logging in normally on your browser, this value can then be extracted and used with FantiaDL. This value expires and may need to be updated with some regularity.

Mozilla Firefox

On https://fantia.jp, press Ctrl + Shift + I to open Developer Tools.
Select the Storage tab at the top. In the sidebar, select https://fantia.jp under the Cookies heading.
Locate the _session_id cookie name. Click on the value to copy it.

Google Chrome

On https://fantia.jp, press Ctrl + Shift + I to open DevTools.
Select the Application tab at the top. In the sidebar, expand Cookies under the Storage heading and select https://fantia.jp.
Locate the _session_id cookie name. Click on the value to copy it.

Third-Party Extensions (cookies.txt)

You also have the option of passing the path to a legacy Netscape format cookies file with -c/--cookie, e.g. -c ~/cookies.txt. Using an extension like cookies.txt, create a text file matching the accepted format:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html
# This is a generated file! Do not edit.

fantia.jp	FALSE	/	FALSE	1595755239	_session_id	a1b2c3d4...

Only the _session_id cookie is required.
