dw-commentfest-scrape/README.md

This scrapes Dreamwidth comments on a specific posts and sends them to a Discord webhook, generating the comment text and a link to the comment in HTML format ```<a href="url">text</a>``` wrapped in backticks. When put on systemd it runs every five hours (don't change that, to be respectful to DW) and if no new comments have been posted since the last one then it returns no comments. 


this is my first python script idk
## How to use

Follow the comments in the scraper.py code to edit the code appropriately for your usage.

replace in that file with your username

edit systemd stuff to correspond to your file structure and enable them
