As you may know, being able to support a lot of imageboards in CTW is difficult, but this is just humongous (if we want to do it properly).Īs for the backlinks, they are handled by the native extension on 4chan. People who use this list in their application usually just point to the archive site but in our case we want to be able to parse their archive. There is MayhemYDG/archives.json for 4chan but we can't know for sure he will continue updating it and that would be another dependency. However, I'm not sure all archive site work the same and I'm not sure they all (if any) keep deleted posts and/or are updated live, as quickly as the original board.Īlso, those sites have to be reliable and not provide altered posts or in some cases allow people to add replies to the archived thread.īut one of the main problem would be the huge task of maintaining a list of all archive sites for boards on all sites and probably write different parsers for every single one of them.
If I understand correctly, you would want the archive sites to be used behind to scenes to retrieve deleted posts.
