A script to automatically add ALL items to your account in quixel

Script to add all items from quixel

As quixel is being removed, all items are free to aquire. This script is to automate the process to add items to your account (As of writing, a total of 18874 items)

Note: This script only tested in the latest version of Chrome.

How to use

  1. Copy the script from below (run.js)
  2. Login into https://quixel.com
  3. Go to https://quixel.com/megascans/collections
  4. Open devtools (F12) -> Go to "Console" tab
  5. Paste in the script and press Enter.
  6. A dialog should popup confirming the execution, click "OK"
  7. Sit back and wait

Common issues

  • Getting "Forbidden" error. (Even after refresh, the whole page just shows "Forbidden")
    • There is a chance that the API adding too fast and you hit the rate limit of the API. (My testing is around after 10 pages, so ~10k items).
    • Wait after ~10-20 minutes and continue. See Common Fixes -> Restart script to continue the execution after you can load https://quixel.com.
  • The script seems to be paused/hang
    • It could be too much logging going it. Try monitor the script, if it says "END PAGE X", note the page number down (in case need restart) and clear the console by clicking the "🚫" icon in devtools.
    • See Common Fixes -> Restart script for fixing.
  • Getting the error **UNABLE TO ADD ITEM**
    • There should have the error message shown in ( ). If it is user already owns specified asset at a higher or equal resolution, then its already in your account.
  • Getting the error cannot find authentication token. Please login again
    • Clear browser cookies and re-login quixel again. Try just simply add 1 item manully. If it success, then see Common Fixes -> Restart script for continue the execution.

Common Fixes

Restart Script

  1. Note which page it was running
  2. Copy the run.js script
  3. Update the startPage = 0 on the first line to startPage = 10 (assuming page 10 was hanged)

Change Log

  1. Initial Script launch
  2. Update to clear logs to reduce chance of hanging
  3. [CURRENT] Skip adding items that already was acquired. Reduced logs. Added more info after script completion to show purchased item count. Due to now skipping purchased items, you technically don't need to specify the startPage anymore.

Thank you

Thanks a lot guys!!! I just used it and worked fine. I had only a simple problem. After pasting the script the first time, it stops after 2 pages without any notice. I waited 5 minutes then seeing that nothing happened I pasted again the script changing the start page to 2 and it started again the Adding Items. I repeated it 4 times changing the starting page and I succeeded to download the whole collection.
I checked and the items are really added to my account, so it works fine.
Thanks again.

You need to paste the text of the JavaScript code and run that. It looks like you just typed "run.js" in the console and that won't do anything.

In my fork I've added a 10 second pause between processing each page and this successfully avoided Quixel's API rate limiting and the script ran in minutes without any extra manual handling. Feel free to pull in the changes!

Thank you for writing this script, this is awesome!

A couple other small errors while processing but seems I got an extra free one. I started at like around 300 purchased. Was quick and easy. Thank you!

looks it run succesfully but
while I can see a long list of items in (https://quixel.com/account),
I cannot see that 18k+ under (https://quixel.com/megascans/purchased)
do I need to be worried?

si vas a unreal, y buscas en bridge podes ver que los assets estan con una tilde sin color, significa que estan guardados pero tenes que descargarlos en unreal (eso es lo que entendi)

Debes pegar el texto del código JavaScript y ejecutarlo. Parece que simplemente escribiste "run.js" en la consola y eso no hará nada.

gracias, logre que funcione.

Note that your ability to legally use the downloaded assets depends on what button you click here: https://quixel.com/pricing

Screenshot 2024-10-08 223719

They're all free, but watch out, they come with different rights and restrictions! The 30-day free trial plan is for evaluation purposes only. The UE plan is for Unreal Engine only. The personal plan is for personal use only, or can be used commercially if you make less than a certain revenue threshold. The indie plan can be used commercially, but requires you to be below a certain revenue threshold (this is the one you want).

Edit:

If you acquired the assets for free via the Unreal Engine subscription plan or under a free trial of a Quixel plan, they will not automatically transfer over to Fab. From Fab’s launch until the end of 2024, you may download Megascans—both those you may have acquired in the past and those that may be new to you—for free from Fab. Any Megascans that you add to your library on Fab during this promotion period, you will be entitled to use under the terms of the Fab Standard License even after the promotion period ends. Please be aware that simply downloading a free Megascan on Fab in 2024 will not grant you this entitlement - you need to use the “Add to library” option.

Does this mean that if you use the Personal or Indie plan (i.e. not the UE or free trial plan), it'll transfer over? So clicking the wrong button means it won't transfer over...

To be specific: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/eula/content

  1. License Plans
    a. Personal Plan
    Megascans Content that you acquire from Epic while your account is enrolled in a personal plan for which you qualify may be used as any other Licensed Content. Such Megascans Content, however, may not be distributed in source format to anyone else.

You qualify for a personal plan only if you are an individual and either (i) use Megascans Content only for your personal purposes and not for any business or other commercial purpose or (ii) generate less than $100,000 USD in annual gross revenue. For purposes of this calculation, revenue includes any advances received or other funds raised. However, individuals who start on a personal plan will not be ineligible for the plan unless and until they generate more than $100,000 USD in annual gross revenue for two consecutive years.

b. Indie Plan
Megascans Content that you acquire from Epic while your account is enrolled in an indie plan for which you qualify may be used and shared as any other Licensed Content.

You qualify for an indie plan only if you, together with any controlling entity and other entities under common control with you, (i) generate less than $2,000,000 USD per year in annual gross revenue and (ii) are not affiliated with or funded by a publisher owned or controlled studio. For purposes of this calculation revenue includes any advances received or other funds raised.

c. Unreal Engine Plan (UE-Only Content)
Megascans Content that you acquire from Epic while your account is enrolled in an Unreal Engine plan may only be used and shared as UE-Only Content.

You qualify for an Unreal Engine plan if you have entered into an Unreal Engine End User License Agreement with Epic that is still active and valid.

d. Educational Plan
Megascans Content that an educational institution approved by Epic acquires under an account enrolled in an educational plan (“Educational Assets”) may only be used for non-commercial, educational purposes. You may deploy Educational Assets on computers in labs, classrooms, and other physical educational environments under your control and may allow Educational Assets to be accessed on a file server by students and instructors through a local area network or through a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection employing industry standard encryption and protection mechanisms. You may not and may not allow others to sell, license, or otherwise commercially use or exploit any Projects or services containing Educational Assets.

I can't paste the code it keeps telling me this (Warning: Don’t paste code into the DevTools Console that you don’t understand or haven’t reviewed yourself.

As arwa99-lab said it has me worried it is malicious even if inadvertently.

Plugged the code into chatgpt and got this

is algolia trustworthy? i realise they supply the search api, but saw they have a public bug bounty for penetration testing so has me worried if our tokens are going through their network traffic.

literally write: allow pasting . After that it will automatically let you paste anything
