[View on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/snapmap-archiver/)

## Setup (for working in a Python environment)

Install dependencies with pip.

`sh pip install -r requirements.txt `

## Usage

`sh snapmap-archiver -o [OUTPUT DIR] -l="[LATITUDE],[LONGITUDE]" `

Unfortunately you have to use the arbitrary -l=”lat,lon” rather than just -l “lat,lon” when parsing negative numbers as argsparse interprets said numbers as extra arguments.

### Optional Arguments

#### Location

-l is not required if an input file or Snap URL is provided. It can also be used multiple times to download Snaps from multiple locations in one command.

E.g

`sh snapmap-archiver -o ~/Desktop/snap -l='123.123,123.123' -l '445.445,445.445' `

#### Input File

With -f or –file, you can specify a file containing a list of line-separated Snap URLs or IDs.

E.g

`sh snapmap-archiver -o ~/Desktop/snaps -f ~/Desktop/snaps.txt `

Inside snaps.txt:

` https://map.snapchat.com/ttp/snap/Example/@-33.643495,115.741281,11.86z Example https://map.snapchat.com/ttp/snap/Example/ https://map.snapchat.com/ttp/snap/Example/ `

#### Snap URL

You can also just pass 1 or more normal Snap URLs or IDs to the package to download it individually like this:

`sh snapmap-archiver -o ~/Desktop/snap 'https://map.snapchat.com/ttp/snap/Example/@-33.643495,115.741281,11.86z' 'Example' `

#### Export JSON

You can export a JSON file with info about downloaded snaps with the –write-json argument, which will contain information like the time the Snap was posted, and the Snap location.

It will write archive.json to the specified output directory.

#### Snap Radius

The radius from the coordinates you provide that will be included for downloads. -r 20000 will download all Snaps within a 20km radius of your coordinates.
