ACT Police Media Release Archiver

A tool I've made to keep archives of ACT Policing's Media Releases.

PyPI: https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/act-police-archiver/

Setup

With pip

pip3 install act-police-archiver

Manual

Install poetry:

pip3 install poetry

Update dependencies:

poetry update

Usage

Run as a script

To export all media releases to a specific directory (e.g your Desktop), run this command:

poetry run py -m act_police_archiver -o /path/to/desktop

This will start downloading every media release on ACT Police's website.

To download a specific release, run this command:

poetry run py -m act_police_archiver -o /path/to/desktop -p <url of media release>

Import code

You can also import the code as a module if you want to access specific functions like this:

import act_police_archiver

# Example:
act_police_archiver.scrape_release('someurl', '/path/to/folder')
