Auto-Scrape files/scenes where the source was positively identified?

Is it possible to completely automate scraping via a keyword in the filename?

E.g. I want to improve the Pornhub scraper and want it to automatically scrape infos for new files that contain the keyword “pornhub” and a valid ID in the filename.

It already supports that.

github.com/stashapp/CommunityScrapers

scrapers/Pornhub/Pornhub.yml

ea2cad264


      
          sceneByFragment:
            action: scrapeXPath
            queryURL: https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey={filename}
            queryURLReplace:
              filename:
                - regex: (?:.*[^a-zA-Z\d])?((?:ph)?(?:[a-zA-Z\d]{13})).+
                  with: $1
                - regex: .*\.[^\.]+$ # if no ph id is found in the filename
                  with: # clear the filename so that it doesn't leak to ph
            scraper: sceneScraper

As far as automatically trigging it you want to use Identify task in Stash.

Ah, I see. Took me some minutes to figure out it was hidden behind the advanced settings toggle.

Works a little different than expected without the need for keywords in the filename. Not sure if that would make it any better / more efficient.

Would you add a note to the top of the Identify page to show it is an advanced setting?
