Update: This video was made as a guide to a previous version of the Auto Archiver tool. Were currently working on a new video for the updated tool, we expect this to be published in April 2025. In the meanwhile, you can ask questions about the tool on our Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/bellingcat in the tool support channel.
Open source research often relies on social media posts that contain videos and images. However, these posts can be taken down by platforms or deleted by those posting them. That’s why Bellingcat has created a tool, the Auto Archiver ( https://github.com/bellingcat/auto-archiver ), to help the open-source community, as well as journalists and researchers, quickly and easily archive online content. In this video, Miguel Ramalho details how to set up and use the tool.")
