# missclear
|
|
|
|
Python script to quickly delete old messages on a Misskey instance.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Before using, you'll need to install the [Misskey.py](https://pypi.org/project/Misskey.py/)
|
|
pip module:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# pip3 install Misskey.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From the built-in help:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: missclear.py [-h] [-d DAYS] [-q] [-r RETRIES] [-A | -N] instance
|
|
|
|
Deletes old Misskey posts.
|
|
|
|
positional arguments:
|
|
instance Misskey instance domain, in format domain.tld
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-d DAYS, --days DAYS How many days back to start deleting from
|
|
-q, --quiet Suppress less urgent messages
|
|
-r RETRIES, --retries RETRIES
|
|
Amount of times to retry a failed delete
|
|
-A, --no-auth Disable interactive authentication
|
|
-N, --no-cache Disable reading/saving cached tokens
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cached API Tokens
|
|
|
|
The cached API token is automatically stored in either `$XDG_CACHE_DIR`
|
|
or `$HOME/.cache` if the former doesn't exist. Each instance is cached
|
|
in a separate file, under `<cache-dir>/missclear/instance.tld` for a
|
|
hypothetical instance.tld.
|
|
|
|
The `--no-cache` flag will disable the cache functionality, but requires
|
|
interactive authentication every time.
|
|
|
|
## Automated runs (e.g. crontab)
|
|
|
|
As long as you're comfortable with your API token being stored wherever
|
|
your local cache folder is stored, something like the following command
|
|
should work as an automatic function:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/path/to/missclear.py -Aqr 5 instance.tld
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Usage of `--retries X` in this case is recommended, since otherwise an
|
|
API issue such as rate limiting will cause the script to loop forever.
