|
|
|
|
### install
|
|
|
|
requires python 3 on linux, OSX, or Windows
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install pip
|
|
$ pip install psaw
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/chid/snudown
|
|
$ cd snudown
|
|
$ sudo python setup.py install
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
$ git clone [this repo]
|
|
$ cd reddit-html-archiver
|
|
$ chmod u+x *.py
|
|
|
|
Windows users may need to run
|
|
|
|
> chcp 65001
|
|
> set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
|
|
|
|
before running `fetch_links.py` or `write_html.py` to resolve encoding errors such as 'codec can't encode character'.
|
|
|
|
### fetch reddit data
|
|
|
|
data is fetched by subreddit and date range and is stored as csv files in `data`. You may need to explicitly run the script with python3 if it is not the default on your system.
|
|
|
|
$ python3 ./fetch_links.py politics 2017-1-1 2017-2-1
|
|
# or add some link/post filtering to download less data
|
|
$ ./fetch_links.py --self_only --score "> 2000" politics 2015-1-1 2016-1-1
|
|
# show available filters
|
|
$ ./fetch_links.py -h
|
|
|
|
decrease your date range or adjust `pushshift_rate_limit_per_minute` in `fetch_links.py` if you are getting connection errors.
|
|
|
|
### write web pages
|
|
|
|
write html files for all subreddits to `r`.
|
|
|
|
$ ./write_html.py
|
|
# or add some output filtering for less fluff or a smaller archive size
|
|
$ ./write_html.py --min-score 100 --min-comments 100 --hide-deleted-comments
|
|
# show available filters
|
|
$ ./write_html.py -h
|
|
|
|
your html archive has been written to `r`. once you are satisfied with your archive feel free to copy/move the contents of `r` to elsewhere and to delete the git repos you have created. everything in `r` is fully self contained.
|
|
|
|
to update an html archive, delete everything in `r` aside from `r/static` and re-run `write_html.py` to regenerate everything.
|
|
|
|
### hosting the archived pages
|
|
|
|
copy the contents of the `r` directory to a web root or appropriately served git repo.
|
