Repository files navigation

metafilter-to-sqlite

Save your user activity from Metafilter to a SQLite database.

Installation

Clone this repository, then run python setup.py install.

Usage

Loading imported comments

If you are logged in, then you can download a file containing your comments here. Note that you are only able to do this once per week.

You can then process this file using the command:

$ metafilter-to-sqlite comments  -f /path/to/my-mefi-comments.txt metafilter.db

Scraping posts

You can scrape posts from a MetaFilter user profile using the command:

$ metafilter-to-sqlite posts metafilter.db <user_id>

where <user_id> is the numerical id (not username) of an account.

Limitations

This can only import comments and posts that you have made; it does not save comments or posts by other users that you have favourited.

This information could be obtained by web-scraping in the future.
