vk public saver

Project for saving vk posts

Requirements

This project is written in Go language so you need modern version of Go to build and run this application. You can find instructions and some more info here - https://golang.org/doc/install

You should also install some additional packages:

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/terminal
github.com/vorkytaka/easyvk-go/easyvk

Building

For build binary executable run

go build

You can also run vk_public_saver as script:

go run *.go

Usage

This project uses settings.json file with such format:

{
    "app_id": "app_id",
    "api_version": "5.41"
}

where "app_id" is vk application id and "api_version" is vk API version. The program will fail without this file.

This project is a console application. To run it type:

./vk_public_saver #on *NIX
./vk_public_saver.exe #on Windows
go run *.go #or run as a script if you have Golang environment

There are 3 modes:

• user login/password input, where program asks about username, password and public or user id to save it's wall data;
• user token input, where program asks about token and public or user id to save it's wall data;
• json input, where program uses json file userdata.json;

The first mode is the default one. For token input run

./vk_public_saver --token

For using json input run vk_public_saver with --userdata option. For example:

./vk_public_saver --userdata

In this mode there should be json file userdata.json with such format:

{
    "email": "my@mail.ru",
    "pass": "MyStrongSecretPassword",
    "source": "MyPublicID"
} 

where "email" is user email, "pass" is user password, "source" is public or user id which wall we are saving.

While running vk_public_saver will create data_"YourPublicID".db file with sqlite database storing posts and some attachments info:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS posts (
    id INTEGER,
    from_id INTEGER,
    owner_id INTEGER,
    signer_id INTEGER,
    date INTEGER,
    marked_as_ads INTEGER,
    post_type TEXT,
    text TEXT,
    is_pinned INTEGER,
    comments_count INTEGER,
    likes_count INTEGER,
    reposts_count INTEGER,
    views_count INTEGER,
    attachments_count INTEGER,
    PRIMARY KEY (id, from_id)
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS attachments (
    type TEXT,
    id INTEGER,
    owner_id INTEGER,
    post_id INTEGER,
    url TEXT,
    additional_info text,
    additional_info2 text,
    PRIMARY KEY (id, type, post_id)
);
