Public Data Dump for you forum

This repo attempts to establish a pattern for a public data dump. It includes 2 data explorer queries you can use to export all your public data.

Public data is defined as forum topics and posts that anonymous users can access.

How to use this?

First you need to define 2 queries using data explorer:

1. Topic query: here
2. Post query: here

Once defined note the data explorer query ids as specified in the URL

Next, define an API key with rights to run the 2 queries.

config.json

Create a config.json specifying the domain of your discourse site, api key and data explorer query ids.

Importing the site into Sqlite

The first phase of the import is importing the site into a sqlite3 db. This intermediary db stores all the content.

Run: ruby download_topics.rb

Importing the Sqlite db into Discourse

1. Start with a blank DB
2. Run ruby import_db.rb
