a text file on your machine.

open notepad
specify some profile urls
save the file WHERE YOU SAVE IT TO IS THE FILE PATH

It will be something like
c:\folder\of\the\file.txt

I then opened SC manager and went to the scrape list/Email section and then scrape avatar from list .. I put the file path there and it went to the processor for 1 second and said completed. Isn't it supposed to get pictures for me? What did I do wrong?
Actually the program is made to scrape avatars from soundcloud profiles only. In order to scrape avatars, you need to specify 1 or multiple SC profiles urls per line and then do the action as you have did with facebook url. The program will not scrape avatars from any other platform ( may work but that is not intended ).

Still didn't work, It just said this; don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there a specif place the avatar gets saved when you scrape the file?

Let me help you.


Create 1 text file having 2-3 sc profile link 1 per line

Example:

https://soundcloud.com/profilename
https://soundcloud.com/edsheeran
..


Open SCM
Goto Scraper TAB
Browse the text file you created
Click scrape avatar

For path where all the gets saved - please double click on the action when it gets completed. It should something like

c:\\......Soundcloudmanager\saveddata\avatars

But, the real time log will say exactly. :)

Although if you did input the path below then i would say it is not a valid path
C:\Users\Donbr_000\Documents\Test Avatar File Path\File Path.txt scrape_avatars
The exact path of the textfile will look like

c:\\demo.txt

Kind regards,

This
C:\Users\Donbr_000\Documents\Test Avatar File Path\File Path.txt scrape_avatars
Is not valid path.

This
C:\Users\Donbr_000\Documents\Test Avatar File Path\File Path.txt
is valid path.
