Download all FFN favorites

[pavanag...@gmail.com]

Sometime ago I went through all my FFN favorites (1800+) and downloaded them by going page to page on mobile version. Checked again recently and it seems as if 40-50 fics slipped through the cracks. So is there a way either for calibre to get links of all favorites from a FFN profile (not just the top 500) or a userscript or something which can export all the links?

Well, some of those cracks may be FFN saying whoops too many requests even at the pace you set.

Then that would have come up in the log. I made sure to check for that, limited download size at once to 100.

The cracks appeared because I downloaded these over a month and the fics moved because of updates or additions to the list. Or possible just missing some while selecting for copy paste. Anyways, FFN didn't limit the request.

Figured it out. If anybody wants to do the same, open up list of favorites in mobile mode. URL for that should be https://m.fanfiction.net/m/f_story.php

Right-click, then Inspect. Go to console and paste the following code

var x = document.querySelectorAll("a");
var myarray = []
for (var i=0; i<x.length; i++){
var nametext = x[i].textContent;
var cleantext = nametext.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();
var cleanlink = x[i].href;
myarray.push([cleantext,cleanlink]);
};
function make_table() {
var table = '<table><thead><th>Name</th><th>Links</th></thead><tbody>';
for (var i=0; i<myarray.length; i++) {
table += '<tr><td>'+ myarray[i][0] + '</td><td>'+myarray[i][1]+'</td></tr>';
};

var w = window.open("");
w.document.write(table);
}
make_table()

Run it, it will give you table containing all links. Copy-paste to excel, remove every other row (those are links to the author) and you are left with list of all your favorited stories.

To download them just copy-paste it into FFF. I suggest limiting yourself to 100 at a time

100 at a time seems very high to me. I suggest reading these FAQs:
