Because gifs or it didn't happen
This is a script designed to scrape images from static URLs and save them locally with a local unique (datestamped) name, for either long term archiving of otherwise short-lived images, and/or further analysis/processing (eg: creation of gifs)
Features include
- generating html of various forms (per-day, per month, etc)
- post-processing of images (imagemagick options)
- decoding base64 images from html
- Probably more
This readme written up in Dec 2023, at time of git repo creation, pulling in old versions from backups - the oldest found being Jan 2015 (evidence of saved images reveals this script began Oct 2012)
