Python script that scapes public posts from lists of Mastodon profile URLs, and:
Python program that scapes public posts from Mastodon profile URLs, and:
- Sends them to lists of email addresses;
- Saves them as HTML files on your machine.
It works with any type of post, be it text or media. Retoots and replies are also supported.
It works with any type of post, be it text or media.
Retoots and replies are supported (and enabled by default).
_Note: This script only sees the last 20 posts on a profile page. Multi-page scraping is not yet supported. If you post or share a lot, you may want to set the refresh time at a very low number._
It can theoretically see an unlimited number of posts and navigate recursively to see old ones.
Limit is set to 10 pages by default (200 posts). If you set it to very high (or unlimited), you may need to set higher sleep times to prevent ratelimiting.
Useful for archiving your own posts, or whatever.
The program may be useful for archiving your own posts.
Protip: you can repost your content on <https://blogger.com> via email with this tool!
_Read `Example.Config.py`, copy it to `Config.py`, and edit it to your needs._
