bellingcat/auto-archiver
Automatically archive links to videos, images, and social media content from Google Sheets (and more).
When you need to reliably save web content like social media posts, videos, or news articles, this tool automates that process. It takes a list of web links, for example from a Google Sheet, and securely saves the content, providing a report on what was archived. This is ideal for investigative journalists, researchers, or anyone needing to preserve online evidence.
1,058 stars. Actively maintained with 10 commits in the last 30 days. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to systematically collect and preserve large numbers of web pages, videos, or social media posts as verifiable evidence or for historical record.
Not ideal if you only need to archive a few links occasionally or don't require the content to be saved in a secure, verifiable format.
