### Archivist Scripts:
Downloading and archiving "live" content is complicated, especially because gigabytes of it will be created each day.
Downloading and archiving YouTube content is complicated, especially because YouTube sometimes can take days to transcode videos to the best quality. A workarround to this issue is to have a script that will download everything that came out 30 days ago (and before) and, to avoid missing videos takedown/delete, have a script that will download everything created in the last 30 days potentially in a quality that's not the best.
Considering that I chose to separate the content:
Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31 of the previous year (included). For example, if the current date is any day between 2021-01-01 and 2021-12-31, everything created up to and including 2020-12-31 will be downloaded. Because YouTube takes time to transcode videos (usually 1 week, maximum 1 month), you may want to avoid running the Archive Scripts too soon into the new year.
Archivist Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before the current date, minus 30 days. For example, if the current date is 2021-01-30, everything created **before** 2021-01-01 will be downloaded. This is needed because YouTube takes time to transcode videos (usually 1 week but sometimes more, the script assume it will take a maximum of 1 month).
Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1 of the current year (included). For example, if the current date is 2021-02-02, everything created between and during the dates 2021-01-01 and 2021-02-02 will be downloaded.
Recent Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created the current date, minus 30 days. For example, if the current date is 2021-01-30, everything created **after** 2021-01-01 will be downloaded.
