w3cpull

w3cpull is a tool for pulling data from IBM w3 Connections.

Description

Since w3 Connections does not allow exporting data and does not have a REST API, it was decided to go from the front side and use Selenium. This tool allows you to download wiki pages and related files from the community and sub-communities. As a result, you get a local copy of the community content (currently only wiki content) with the original structure.

Environment

• Languages: Python
• Frameworks: Selenium
• Interface: CLI
• Supported OS: Linux, OS X

• Python (>=3.6)
