# Kiwi Scraper
Python-based webscraper designed to scrape kiwifarms.net threads and filter them according to post ratings.
This program allows users to filter by:
- positive ratings
- negative ratings
- neutral ratings
- overall ratings
- specific rating
- weighted score (positive ratgins have positive values, negative ratings have negative values)
In its current state, this program outputs its findings in the form of a JSON file.
Example:
![](images/jsonExample.jpg)
## Required Packages
This program requires the following packages:
```bash
pip install bs4
pip install requests
```
## Usage
Example run:
```
Welcome to the Kiwi Scraper!
Please provide the link to the thread you want analyzed below.
Please note that this program will start searching at the first threadpage that you link to, so if you'd like the thread analyzed starting at the frst page, please link to the first page of the thread; otherwise, provide a link to the first page you want scraped.
If the link that you provide is valid but not working, try using the .nl/.pl domains, as cloudflare might be blocking your request.

How would you like the thread to be filtered?
(1) positive ratings
