What does `extended_dump` actually do?

Open airlaser opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I'm diffing output from -D with and without -e and seeing no difference.

When I search the code (latest version) I see extended_dump get set by args then never used.

Am I blind or is this just not yet implemented?

Originally, iterating over the medias on a profile was enough to extract some metadata, but not all of it relevant to a specific post (things like top comments per post, etc. needed to be extracted on a per-post basis). However, since the implementation of the scraper changed a lot (I switched from HTML scraping to GraphQL query hijacking) so it's possible that 1. I never implemented that back or 2. it is not needed / not possible to do anymore.

It appears to no longer be necessary.

I will get a PR up shortly to remove it.
