oh, maybe you all would know this.
any tips for scraping a #wordpress-based site for the urls of all posts by a particular author? I tried a few combinations of lynx -dump, wget, & grep but don't know enough about any of them.
i.e. https://site.tld/author/authorsname, https://site.tld/author/authorsname/page/2, page/3, etc., where the posts are like https://site.tld/1970/01/01/title-of-post
@nev Does the site in question have the API enabled? You might be able to vacuum up the entire site without needing credentials.
@nev It's in core now, so you should be able to poke around with it.
@drwho i'm not really a coder and don't know how to even REST or whatever but perhaps this is a good time to start learning!
@nev I have an article on my website about it that might be enough to get you started. Search for "rest API" and it should be in the top five hits.
@nev Give this a read - it's Huginn-specific, but it talks about how to interact with a REST API.

@drwho hmm, I don't know. How would I find out/tap into it?
