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
|
|
scrapthechan [<url> | <imageboard> <board> <thread>] [-o,--output-dir] [--no-op]
|
|
[-v,--version] [-h,--help]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to pass a thread. One is by passing a full URL of a thread
|
|
(`<url>` argument), and the other one is by passing thread in three components:
|
|
`<imageboard>` is a name of website (e.g. 4chan), `<board>` is a name of a board
|
|
(e.g. wg), and `<thread>` is a number of a thread on that board.
|
|
|
|
`-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. |
