There is a webcomic called strong female protagonist that i want to persevere(in case the website is ever lost) but not sure how.
The image you see above is not a webpage of the site but rather a drop-down like menu. There is a web crawler called WFDownloader(that i am using the window's exe file inside bottles)that can grab images and can follow links, grab images "N" number of pages down but since this a drop-down menu i am not sure it will work
There also the issue of organizing the images. WFDownloader doesn't have options for organizing.
What i am thinking about, is somehow translating the html for the drop-down menu into separate xml file based on issues/titles, run a script to download the images, have each image named after its own hyperlink and have each issue in its own folder. Later on i can create a stitch-up version of the each issues.
If you view the source of the homepage, you'll see some HTML that starts with this:
That's the HTML for the drop-down. Although if I were you, I'd look into taking advantage of WordPress' JSON API, since that website uses WordPress.
For example, here's a list of the images uploaded to the site in JSON format: https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media?per_page=100&page=1 (Limited to 100 entries per page)
I can see the url for each image when opening when the json link(source_url:) and each image is labeled in the correct order as far as i can see but how do i grab the urls?
Maybe look into awk language compile a list of urls than pass them through curl?
jq is sort of like awk but specifically meant for JSON so it should be a lot easier.
