OSF backup

[johav]

can we scrape and make a backup of our database from OSF?

• https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/osf.io
• our OSF metadata is at https://api.osf.io/v2/providers/preprints/africarxiv/preprints/

I've done this last year https://github.com/AfricArxiv/hub-and-search-portal/blob/master/osf_preprints_api.ipynb It's a small script that scrap our repo API and output in JSON format.

I've not udpdated it for a while now but it seems to be working.
