Auto-Archiver

Docker app from grtgbln's Repository

Overview

Auto Archiver is a Python tool to automatically archive content on the web in a secure and verifiable way. It takes URLs from different sources (e.g. a CSV file, Google Sheets, command line etc.) and archives the content of each one. It can archive social media posts, videos, images and webpages. Content can be enriched, then saved either locally or remotely (S3 bucket, Google Drive). The status of the archiving process can be appended to a CSV report, or if using Google Sheets – back to the original sheet.
This is a CLI tool. Please edit the **Post Arguments** accordingly. See documentation: https://auto-archiver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/setup.html
