pssst commentfic people

[toothpastepancake]

I built a Python script that scrapes (NOT FOR AI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) dreamwidth comment pages and sends them to a Discord webhook in the following format:

<a href="comment link">prompt text</a>

It might work on windows idk if it does. It was developed with linux as that is my main operating system. I don't know if anyone else will get use out of this but it sure as hell is gonna help me with future prompt fests. Which, btw, Sapphic Summer is back now. Check us out here. !!

I'll have a real update soon, but I wanted to share in case someone else can use it. It's rather basic (it only returns comments on a specific comment page url, which means you have to change the session.get to the current latest comment page url in flat view, which really might only work for linear promptfests unlike the one I built it for... at least as far as I'm aware I could be wrong.. but oh well! I'm working on fixing this.) but it's my first Python script EVER and I'm proud.

Here's the code <3

w00t w00t, that looks like it'd work! *thumbs up* Also on my operating system, which is Macintosh *check* It's a MacOS. *doesn't technically know enough computer science to pick out what is relevant about it and what to leave out since she's trashed at least 5 computers before when trying to learn about it* xD

I look forward to seeing how it works :)
