Is there a more efficient way to scrape and download all stories from a forum than my current multi-step process? (piefed.zip)

I'm currently using a pagination, link extraction, and Python filtering process before feeding links to fichub-cli to download all stories from a specific forum. The workflow is detailed in this post: https://piefed.zip/post/1151173 . Looking for a more streamlined, possibly one-command solution that could crawl the forum, extract thread links, and download them automatically. Any suggestions?

If you ask nicely, the admin might just give you a database dump.
