oh, maybe you all would know this.

any tips for scraping a -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 there's no standard. It's all customisable, unfortunately, and the default settings only link to a post by its internal ID number.

Unless whomever's site it is intentionally are publishing permalinks by author, or using a plugin that does so, you're hosed.

@wohali that's what I suspected, but...hmm wait I got a brain wave. Will have to see if this idea works...
