Automatically download threads

Open RomeSilvanus opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

It would be nice to set certain options such as thread name, username, subject, etc so that BASC automatically adds them to the list and downloads them.

I'd like to archive some general threads and currently this requires me to watch the board for them and insert their links manually into the download .txt. Being able to set BASC to automatically download would be very convenient.

If you are allowing, it would be great too to Archive whole boards.

To implement something like thread name, username, subject searching requires, well, implementing searching. I'll put that on our list, but it's pretty tough. You can do it by working with the 4chan API using our BASC-py4chan though.

Archiving entire boards is not something to be taken lightly, and requires a significantly more powerful script, terabytes of hard drive space, and high end servers... However, if you really want to run your own desuarchive or archived.moe, here's the FoolFuuka installation instructions:

If you do manage to get an archiver site working, want to make it public, or want some tips, drop by #bibanon at irc.rizon.net or our discord for assistance. There's always a need for more archivers and more equipment.
