Someone had asked in the now locked thread how he did what he did in terms of collecting uploads. I will relay the method as was explained to me. I tried to replicate it but I don't have the technical acumen to pull it off. Maybe someone else can pick up the torch.
me: i gotta ask where you're getting all these premium feeds from still. you cant possibly subscribe to all these pods... can you?
podking: lol! i scrape reddit and twitter
me: automated or by hand?
podking: reddit I periodically check, twitter I use a site called phantombuster to export search results daily
podking: and a bunch of scripts to parse through all the tweets and find patreon urls
me: looking at the phantombuster thing now... i assume this function is what youre using? "Twitter Search Export Scrape and export the results of a Twitter search into a spreadsheet"
podking: yep
podking: never needed to pay for it, free 10 minutes per day has always been plenty
me: what are you putting into the search field for results?
podking: patreon.com/rss/
podking: redditsearch.io for reddit comments
me: so if i wanted to automate this for trillbillies i would put "redditsearch.io trillbilly worker's party" or something like that?
podking: search string for that is www.patreon.com/rss/ auth
Maybe this will make sense to someone more than it did to me. I could do enough to set up the phantombuster to do scrapes but could never actually produce results. I also can't format this post worth a fuck and I'm giving up trying.
Godspeed fellow pirates.
yes, i know but still felt it might be beneficial to pass along the methodology.
take the individual URLs on that feeds page and paste them into qbittorrents RSS reader with the "new subscription" button
I’m not familiar with this. What was the interface like? Was there like a dedicated website you could go to to listen to all these podcasts?
Interesting
