[Solved] How to backup an entire blog hosted on medium.com?

Using Archive.org doesn’t work on medium posts and ideally I want to archive every post. The blog I’m trying to archive is itsairborne.com in case the posts go down. Googling how to backup medium posts only gives me articles on how to do it if it were my blog. I found this extension called Monolith of Web that allows you to backup a website using the Rust tool Monolith and I just went to each article and clicked the extension and saved them all one by one

Borger,

Write a scraper using python and selenium or something. You may have to manually log in as part of it

keefshape,

Pose this question to chat gpt 3.5 or 4. Ask it to assist in making a (python?) script to do this. Feed it errors, and you can get there pretty quickly and learn along the way.

keefshape,

Lol, downvoted for…?

oldfart,

Maybe some alternative frontend and then the regular methods like wget?

Does this actually modify the files when monolith embeds everything into one file?
