How to export Google Groups starred posts

#1

Hello all

I feel like there has been talk before about how to export Google Group posts. But I’m not sure what the best way of doing that is. I would like to export my starred topics from the Google Group and ideally import them into a TiddlyWiki, ideally either in HTML or Markdown

This doesn’t say anything about starred items but does seem to be something individuals can run

If you do a trial run and report back we can see what the format looks like and figure out how to get it into TW.

I did the Takeout export and it’s pretty bare bones. You get a CSV file with links to all of your favorite messages. exampe: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/9ra0s9AEKl4/6rqd3R7pAAAJ

I was the one who mentioned “Starred” GG posts on the last TW Zoom Talk, but haven’t looked into the logistics of that yet. If you can get a clean CSV with links that has Starred in a column (or is prefiltered to starred), then it might take an R-automation-script to pull each html page and strip out the content… I have done that successfully with an SVG library site (game-icons.net) and imported the results as tiddlers with meta-data.
