[Bug]: Update Models sending infinite API Requests

[tealey21]

Describe the bug.

For any function of the update models tab:

• Update Models Info & Tags
• Update Model Preview
• Scan for Available Updates
  etc

The update will not advance past sending API requests, it will reach the /6 standard amount of API requests and proceed to inifnitely send requests beyond that and will not complet the update process.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

1. update models tab
2. select a model type
3. select any update feature button such as update image preview

Expected behavior

pull model info and tags and image previews from civitai etc

System info

extension version: 807a21c
OS: W11
Forge SD A111
Python 3.10

Console logs

This is happening for me too. I tried limiting the number of LoRAs I was trying to get info on, as well as changing my API key on civitai. I presume something changed on the civitai side, as I've not used SD in more than a week and there was no changes to version from before I left and now other than now it's broken and worked before I left.

Win11, Python 3.10.9, A1111 SD v1.10.1

This is likely because Civitai's API is brokeded again. It's unlikely a code issue in my opinion - just on the nature of how many updates they're doing.

that's my take as well.

that's my take as well too

So potentially just need to wait for Civitai to fix or alert them to the issue?

Or maybe the Civitai web code has been changed and we need to wait for an update to this project, but if it has been abandoned as it seems to be (8 months since the last update), we would have to wait for someone knowledgeable to fork this project and fix the code.

Been wondering what has been going on lately. Really unfortunate to see this extension in an unusable state. Hands down the best extension. Can't update anymore anytime I click load to browser it pops up with a bunch of generic Loras and Checkpoints. It was working like magic all until 3 or 4 days ago and i've been checking for updates but it seems like its not working. Manually updating Lora descriptions, previews, weights, trigger words and whatnot is tedious. I wish it worked real bad... the HTML generation feature was real useful for offline users. having to check Civitai is a pain and when they end support or remove Loras there is no archive of the information outside those HTML's . Hopefully these can be resolved soon. I wonder if the creator of this extension is aware of the issue.

The Project is dead isn't it? I wonder if someone already made an alternative.

https://github.com/zixaphir/Stable-Diffusion-Webui-Civitai-Helper works for me

which is also dead and we don't know how long it will continue to function, we need a real alternative.

Yeah broke for me too. Looks like I'm gonna have to go back to scraping the htmls manually again till fix comes around. You can't trust civitai to keep something up nowadays this kind of extension is absolutely necessary.

Civitai removed ids param from https://civitai.com/api/v1/models request

civitai/civitai#1757

[tealey21]

Does that mean it is getting fixed if it got identified?

[prezofpizza]

I've been trying to fix it when I get free time. From what I can understand they changed the ids param and pagination.

Python isn't my strong suit, I've had some success, but it isn't there yet. I'll keep hacking away while praying someone smarter fixes it hahaha
