Not implemented in reference implementation yet.Using a modded version of 4chandownloader.py, now modded to use py-4chan wrapper.Since an actual JSON to HTML converter is not the easiest thing to build, we will dump the plain HTML along with the JSON for the moment. This makes it possible Reference Implementation With the advent of the 4chan API, the site now gives out threads in nice clean JSON, rather than the HTML mess of the past. They cost almost nothing, and make it possible to view threads when there is no internet. They're under the user's full control, and take whatever the user fancies. Independent, local archives still have their place. And Chanarchive has had it's share of takedowns, eleventh-hour rescues, and revisionist moderators. In theory, this system prevents junk from clogging up the site in practice, value is the the eye of the beholder, and even a thread that was interesting to 3 people in the whole world is still worth saving. Additionally, these archives tend to face site crushing amounts of visitors, not to mention DDoSes from historical revisionists.Ĭhanarchive is unique in that it takes on the effort to accept threads from all of 4chan but the caveat is that for a thread to be permanently saved, more than 10 people that happen to see the thread at the same time must take the time to go to the site, create an account, and vote for archival. Also, to save disk space, most of these archivers tend not to save full sized images quite problematic when the majority of them cannot be found elsewhere. While online archives exist, some of which (like fuuka) can continuously archive an entire board, quite a few important boards are left untouched.
4chan thread archiver full size#
To supplement this flaw, image dumping scripts exist, but the full size images are obviously not linked to by the HTML dumps. Currently, most anons rely on the "Right-click/Save Page As" function, which dumps the whole HTML page vertabrim and only saves thumbnails. The current methods of archiving 4chan threads locally are inefficient, ineffective, and incomplete.
