Hi, I tried to scrape from a rather large group and I got a Timeout error several times.
I was using the
get_posts()
method so I had to restart from page 1 every time and that was neither reliable nor resource effective.So I dug a little more in the code and found out about the
write_posts_to_csv
method. I got it to work with a loop to do just what I want.I'm not sure if you want to keep that method internal but it's already partly documented in the code and I see you're recommending its use so I added an example in the README. Hopefully, that will help people trying to do the same and reduce the amount of support you get.
Some more things that I was thinking of improving:
format
,resume_file
...resume_file
is set? Would that be interesting to implement in your opinion?
