docs ruff-fix -> ruff-clean; there is no ruff-fix in the Makefile. Maybe the command /should/ be ruff-fix to align with the underlying ruff command; for later discussion. This at least reconciles the documentation to the Makefile 2025-08-05 21:36:32 -04:00

Auto Archiver

Documentation Status PyPI version Docker Image Version (latest by date) Core Test Status

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.
