Delete Me Guides

Delete Me Service

I’m going to create a simple program that will delete personal information like deleteme. It’ll be open-source and able to run whenever you please. I’ll use the guides from deleteme to help identify services and their links.

I have each link listed below, but you can run the code below to download every document.

Guide Links:

Code to download guides

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pdfkit
from time import sleep

link = 'https://joindeleteme.com/help/deleteme-help-topics/opt-out-guide/page/'

i = 1
page = requests.get(link+str(i))

guides = set()

while page.ok:
    i += 1
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'html.parser')
    hrefs = [a.attrs['href'] for a in soup.find_all('a') if 'href' in a.attrs \
             and 'https://joindeleteme.com/help/kb/' in a.attrs['href']]
    guides |= set(hrefs)
    sleep(1)
    page = requests.get(link+str(i))

for i, url in enumerate(sorted(guides)):
    print(f'{i+1}. {url}')
    pdfkit.from_url(url, str(i+1)+'.pdf')
    sleep(1)
