This is a tool for scraping files from imageboards' threads.
It extracts the files from a JSON version of a thread. And then downloads 'em
in a specified output directory or if it isn't specified then creates following
directory hierarchy in a working directory:
<imageboard name>
|-<board name>
|-<thread>
|-[!op.txt]
|-...
|-...
# Usage
```bash
2020-07-08 23:13:32 +04:00
scrapthechan [OPTIONS] (<url> | <imageboard> <board> <thread>)
2020-07-08 22:53:39 +04:00
```

`<url>` -- URL of a thread.
`<imageboard> <board> <thread>` -- imageboard name, board name and thread ID
separately. E.g. `4chan b 1100500`.

`-o`, `--output-dir` -- output directory where all files will be dumped to.
`--no-op` -- by default OP's post will be saved in a `!op.txt` file. This flag
disables this behaviour. I desided to put an `!` in a name so this file will be
on the top in a directory listing.
`-v`, `--version` prints the version of the program, and `-h`, `--help` prints
help for a program.
