vsco-scraper looks like it downloads the images, but they are not images rather html files with the following content

<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
</body>
</html>

has anyone else managed to get the images downloaded correctly?

I have the same issue. I've also noticed that you need to be logged in to the Vsco website to get all of the images displayed. I'm guessing login credentials need to be added to the script. It'll still grab part of an account, then just start giving blank jpg files. Hope someone can help with this.

You don't need to be signed in. The scraper is just broken at this point. It can still detect new posted images but can't properly download them. All you get are a bunch of 118b files. This project hasn't gotten any kind of an update in 2 years, so I'm not surprised that it broke eventually

We were both wrong. After further testing it appears this is a rate-limiter put into place by VSCO. Slowing the script down would be helpful. I was able to grab a large account in a few passes, I just had to delete the empty files and change my IP address.

Also, noticing that some of the VPN endpoints give nothing but 118b files, and some work fine. It is possible that VSCO added something to detect VPNs.
