Timesearch
The subreddit archiver
The basics:
1. Collect a subreddit's submissions
python timesearch.py get_submissions -r subredditname
2. Collect the comments for those submissions
python timesearch.py get_comments -r subredditname
3. Stay up to date
python timesearch.py livestream -r subredditname
Commands for collecting:
{get_submissions}
{get_comments}
{livestream}
{get_styles}
{get_wiki}
Commands for processing:
{breakdown}
{index}
{merge_db}
{offline_reading}
TO SEE DETAILS ON EACH COMMAND, RUN
> python timesearch.py <command> --help
'''.lstrip()
SUB_DOCSTRINGS = dict(
breakdown='''
breakdown:
Give the comment / submission counts for users in a subreddit, or
the subreddits that a user posts to.
Automatically dumps into a <database>_breakdown.json file
in the same directory as the database.
python timesearch.py breakdown -r subredditname <flags>
python timesearch.py breakdown -u username <flags>
flags:
-r "test" | --subreddit "test":
The subreddit database to break down.
-u "test" | --username "test":
The username database to break down.
--sort "name" | "submissions" | "comments" | "total_posts"
Sort the output.
'''.strip(),
get_comments='''
get_comments:
Collect comments on a subreddit or comments made by a user.
python timesearch.py get_comments -r subredditname <flags>
python timesearch.py get_comments -u username <flags>
flags:
-s "t3_xxxxxx" | --specific "t3_xxxxxx":
Given a submission ID, t3_xxxxxx, scan only that submission.
-l "update" | --lower "update":
If a number - the unix timestamp to start at.
If "update" - continue from latest comment in db.
WARNING: If at some point you collected comments for a particular
submission which was ahead of the rest of your comments, using "update"
will start from that later submission, and you will miss the stuff in
between that specific post and the past.
Default: update
-up 1467460221 | --upper 1467460221:
If a number - the unix timestamp to stop at.
If not provided - stop at current time.
Default: current time
--dont_supplement:
If provided, trust the pushshift data and do not fetch live copies
from reddit.
'''.strip(),
get_styles='''
get_styles:
Collect the stylesheet, and css images.
python timesearch.py get_styles -r subredditname
'''.strip(),
get_submissions='''
get_submissions:
Collect submissions from the subreddit across all of history, or
Collect submissions by a user (as many as possible).
python timesearch.py get_submissions -r subredditname <flags>
python timesearch.py get_submissions -u username <flags>
-r "test" | --subreddit "test":
The subreddit to scan. Mutually exclusive with username.
-u "test" | --username "test":
The user to scan. Mutually exclusive with subreddit.
-l "update" | --lower "update":
If a number - the unix timestamp to start at.
If "update" - continue from latest submission in db.
Default: update
-up 1467460221 | --upper 1467460221:
If a number - the unix timestamp to stop at.
If not provided - stop at current time.
Default: current time
--dont_supplement:

from reddit.
'''.strip(),
get_wiki='''
get_wiki:
Collect all available wiki pages.
python timesearch.py get_wiki -r subredditname
'''.strip(),
index='''
index:
Dump submission listings to a plaintext or HTML file.
python timesearch.py index -r subredditname <flags>
python timesearch.py index -u username <flags>
flags:
-r "test" | --subreddit "test":
The subreddit database to dump
-u "test" | --username "test":
The username database to dump
--html:
Write HTML files instead of plain text.
--offline:
The links in the index will point to the files generated by
offline_reading. That is, `../offline_reading/fullname.html` instead
of `http://redd.it/id`. This will NOT trigger offline_reading to
generate the files now, so you must run that tool separately.
-st 50 | --score_threshold 50:
Only index posts with at least this many points.
Applies to ALL indexes!
--all:
Perform all of the indexes listed below.
--date:
Perform a index sorted by date.
--title:
Perform a index sorted by title.
--score:
Perform a index sorted by score.
--author:
For subreddit databases only.
Perform a index sorted by author.
--sub:
For username databases only.
Perform a index sorted by subreddit.
--flair:
Perform a index sorted by flair.
examples:
`timesearch index -r botwatch --date`
does only the date file.
`timesearch index -r botwatch --score --title`
does both the score and title files.
`timesearch index -r botwatch --score --score_threshold 50`
only shows submissions with >= 50 points.
`timesearch index -r botwatch --all`
performs all of the different mashes.
'''.strip(),
livestream='''
livestream:
Continously collect submissions and/or comments.
python timesearch.py livestream -r subredditname <flags>
python timesearch.py livestream -u username <flags>
flags:

The redditor to collect from.
-s | --submissions:
If provided, do collect submissions. Otherwise don't.

If submissions and comments are BOTH left unspecified, then they will
BOTH be collected.
-w 30 | --wait 30:
The number of seconds to wait between cycles.
-1 | --once:
If provided, only do a single loop. Otherwise go forever.
'''.strip(),
merge_db='''
merge_db:
Copy all new posts from one timesearch database into another.
python timesearch.py merge_db --from redditdev1.db --to redditdev2.db
flags:
--from:
The database file containing the posts you wish to copy.
--to:
The database file to which you will copy the posts.
The database is modified in-place.
Existing posts will be ignored and not updated.
'''.strip(),
offline_reading='''
offline_reading:
