Python script to scrape viewership data for every item in an Internet Archive collection.
First make sure you have the dependencies installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
Then run: python main.py
Copy the URL or id of a collection from Internet Archive and enter when prompted.
For example: https://archive.org/details/al-larvick-fund
A csv file with one row for each item in the collection:
| all_time | have_data | last_30day | last_7day | identifier | title | timestamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 159 | TRUE | 10 | 6 | ALCFJamesKilgoreClip5217 | ALCF James Kilgore Films Clip 5217 | 2021-01-16 14:30:00 |
