UNWARCIT: WARC (and WACZ) Unzipping Library

Background

This library provides a command line interface to unzip warc and wacz files.

Builds off of the warcio library to read and validate warc files and the py-wacz library to validate wacz files.

Both libraries are provided by Webrecorder

Setup

Install by cloning the repo and then running: python3 setup.py install

You can now run the tool like so: unwarcit metro_capture2.wacz data.warc --output myfolder

You can pass a single file or a list of files, either warc or wacz, separated by spaces to unwarcit by placing them after the unwarcit command. unwarcit warcfile1.warc warcfile2.warc waczfile.wacz
