Hah! Managed to pull an archive of zulip with https://github.com/rust-lang/zulip_archive
Longer term may want to look at a github action with https://github.com/rust-lang/zulip_archive but in the meantime we've got something.
https://brlcad.org/~starseeker/zulip_archive-2020-02-01.tar.gz
@starseeker looks great -- did you try logging into zulip via web browser before running the archiver?
also, wonder if that rust-lang fork you used previously, if it pulls the images still of if there's some action needed. The images on the github.io site display for me if i click them, but I think that's because I'm logged in.
Yeah, I saw the same thing - displays if I click them, because I'm logged in. The URLs are the fully qualified zulip URLs to the images. Apparently the zulip-archive code doesn't currently handle localizing them: https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive/issues/68
I had forgotten about https://github.com/rust-lang/zulip_archive
Let me dig in a little to what they're doing
Hum. Looks like they're not pulling images either.
As long as I'm at this: https://brl-cad.github.io/irc_archive/
From https://github.com/BRL-CAD/irc_archive
Woo hoo! https://brl-cad.github.io/zulip_archive/ is updated, looks like the cron job is working.
That should help with discoverability, get more community into discussions and familiar with ways to get involved, read up on past discussions, etc. Awesome.
Any way you can get it to download the images locally so we have a copy of everything? A second script that scrapes or something?
None that I've been able to find yet - I don't know if the bot credentials have access to the images

Maybe a good student project?
I mean, that's got to be maybe a day or two to figure it out. Not really project-worthy, but definitely something just about anyone could probably tackle.
/me fills out BRL-CAD's organization profile on Zulip...
