Various little scripts for using Internet Archive
These scripts require the ia command line tool. Some require jq. Some also require GNU Parallel.
clone.sh — when you want to use the web-based uploader to upload a new item to Internet Archive with metadata that is very similar to an existing item, do clone.sh identifiername and it will output a link that will prefill the metadata for your newly uploaded item.
hinge.sh — a dating app (haha) — iterates though a collection, finds items without date metadata, and asks you to enter the date. It tries to guess the date if it sees YYYY or YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD format in the item title.
nothumb.sh — lists items in a collection that lack a thumbnail image.
nofiles.sh — lists items in a collection that lack any files at all (except xml files).
