Crawl 4Chan's archives from most recent to oldest, saving contents to disk.
tomcat-bit/4chan-crawler provides and easy to use crawler for the live site, which I wanted to rework for crawling the archive and collecting text as well as media. Archive.4plebs.org DDos protection blocks requests from python-requests, but not from Node's https, so I built a JS version.
npm i 4chan-crawler
npm i
Update Desired boards and output directory in config.js
npm start
Download counts and popularity will appear here as the collector receives them.
