Viewing post in Export collections to CSV comments

I guess I never responded back on how this works...

OPTION 1:

1. I just bought a bundle with over 700 items

2. I used your script to download each page of 30-ish items listed into separate CSV files. It seems the way itch.io displays the bundle is only 30 items at a time per page and the script can only grab what is on a single page. Thus I had 26 pages of content to export to 26 individual CSVs

3. I then had to SAVE AS each CSV as an XLS or XLSX file.

4. Followed this video on merging multiple Excel files into one:

5. TADA! I have a single file with hundreds of entries: Name, Author, URL, and Short Description of the item. Excel automatically did the color highlight so I can easily see each row separately.

OPTION 2:

1. I could also simply export each CSV

2. Then copy-n-paste rows from each CSV into a Master/Primary file

3. Save and I have all 700+ rows in one file.

Neither option would be possible without your awesome script. Thanks a ton!!

One thing you can do is click on the link back to the bundle, then you can scroll all the way to the bottom to scoop the whole thing into one CSV. Sorry that you had to go to through the mess of downloading a bunch of files and then having to figure out how to merge them together.

I'll see if I can come up with a way to make it work with the paginated results, though. Tampermonkey allows you to use local storage to save a table of info. I may be able to use that to create a persistent collection of data and dump it when you export or leave the collection page?

Whoohoo!! Sweet!

Thank you. Once I clicked on the "Thank you for purchasing <bundle name>" link, and then scrolled to the end of the page (after it displays all games in that bundle) = one download into one CSV file. Magic. Thanks again!!
