Metadata Check Mode Options

Last updated
Metadata Mode inherits mosts options from the main/scraper mode, with a few options removed because they don't make sense outside of downloading
without --force-all or --force-model-unique media will be filter to only those that are set as not downloaded in the database
The --metadata argument is used to specify how metadata mode updates the db
Available Modes:
check - Updates metadata fields for the specified area via an API. This option does not check for new filenames.
update - This mode performs two actions:
Updates download status and filenames based on the presence of actual files.
Updates metadata fields for the specified area via an API.
complete - Marks the download as complete and updates metadata fields via an API. It also uses a new filename if one is available
Marks unmatched media items as locked.
Details:
This flag is designed to identify and manage media items retrieved using the --after and --before options (date range filtering) that cannot be retrieved again through the API (potentially due to deletion).
Media items with labels are excluded from being marked as locked.
Locking is applied on a per-API type basis, Timeline, Archived Posts, and Messages
This has no effect if --scrape-paid is the only argument
Use Case:
Use this option to manage media items that aren't retrievable via the APIs. Marking them as locked prevents main scraper from using these items to set the minimum date
The --scrape-paid argument is used to specify how metadata mode updates the db, for scrape paid content
The options are the same as --metadata
