how to preserve quotes in 4chan data

[jonodd]

Does anyone have a solution for keeping the "quoted by" id's from 4chan posts as these are not included in the body?

Hi @jonodd, this is not trivial since the quoted by IDs are not included in the posts JSON and 4CAT does not support a way to automatically retrieve them.

They are of course stored as ID mentions in other posts. If you already know what posts you're interested in, you could e.g. query on posts that mention these IDs. Alternatively you could retrieve entire threads and count IDs using regexes in the Count values -> Item filter box. But this will create a different file of course.

Hope that helps!
