| Scenario | How Siterip Helps | Limitations | |----------|-------------------|-------------| | | One‑command capture of the article plus images; offline copy can be printed or PDF‑converted. | Links to other articles remain online; embedded videos won’t download. | | QA engineer testing UI breakage on a staging site | Quick local copy to compare CSS/JS between builds. | Does not fetch dynamically injected assets (e.g., via AJAX). | | Educator gathering sample HTML for a classroom | Simple script to batch‑download a list of URLs into a teaching folder. | No throttling; may hit rate limits on the source server. | | Researcher scraping a small directory of PDFs linked from a static page | siterip --images --css https://example.com + custom post‑processing to pull PDF links (requires a tiny wrapper script). | Siterip itself won’t follow the PDF links; you need extra code. |
For researchers and historians, follow this protocol:
A reputable archiver tag signaled to downloaders that the files were free of malware, properly formatted, and lacked broken links or missing assets.
