Greetings!

I have 2 related knowledge bases that I have been working on for a long time which I would like to download for my portfolio. I reduced the size of one by 5/6, and the other by 4/5, in addition to very very heavy ease-of-use editing . It is a substantial improvement, and what I want to market myself to do, if I have to keep working. I actively enjoy doing it.

My company will not approve the third party backup application for zendesk (the host of these kbs) and I don’t know how to write a script to back it up or anything. I don’t know how any of that works, but zendesk recommends a python script.

I checked a few indexers and couldn’t find the pages, but even if it was indexed by url, I can’t really go through and download individual page links, so I’m not sure what to do. I don’t know python, or anyone who knows Python.

For context, the project as a whole has been my world for the last 9 months, it’s not what I was hired to fix explicitly, which is why they dgaf about my portfolio, but it’s what I want to do (and I’m great at it, even have a degree for it!). I want a snapshot of the whole thing on my last day, ideally including the archived articles I got rid of.

Any ideas for someone who doesn’t code?

    Thank you for taking the time to write this out, I’ve done a bit of digging into it and will do a bit more when time permits.

    These KBs are fully accessible to the public, so I’m not really that worried about using something from them that I couldn’t otherwise get by saving the page or using a link document to send people to it directly, just want to ensure it continues to reflect my work, and stays available to me (one of them will only be live for another 5 or so years).
