Import statuses into Mastodon manually

#!/bin/env ruby

require '/opt/mastodon/config/environment.rb'

def create_attachment(user,media)
  media_url = "https://bhlg-us.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/#{media}"
  puts media_url
  unless File.directory?(File.dirname(media))
    FileUtils.mkdir_p File.dirname(media)
  end
  begin
  tempfile = open("/opt/mastodon/public/system/#{media}", 'wb') do |file|
    file << URI.open(media_url).read
  end
  attachment = user.account.media_attachments.create!(file: File.new(tempfile))
  attachment_id = attachment["id"]
  File.delete(tempfile)
  rescue
    attachment_id = nil
  end
  return attachment_id
end

Status.destroy_all
user = User.find(1)
(1..8).each do |n|
  json = JSON.parse(File.read("/opt/mastodon/public/system/exports/export-#{n}.json"))
  json.each do |post|
    puts post["id"]
    next unless post["id"] > 8496
    puts 'skipping' unless [2,6,7].include?(post["post_type_id"])
    next unless [2,6,7].include?(post["post_type_id"])
    media_ids = []
    if post["metadata"] && post["metadata"]["photo"]
      post["metadata"]["photo"].each do |photo|
        media_id = create_attachment(user,photo)
        media_ids.push(media_id)
        puts media_ids
      end
    end
    if post["metadata"] && post["metadata"]["video"]
      post["metadata"]["video"].each do |video|
        media_id = create_attachment(user,video)
        media_ids.push(media_id)
        puts media_ids
      end
    end
    status = PostStatusService.new.call(user.account, text: ActionController::Base.helpers.strip_tags(post["raw_html"]), media_ids: media_ids)
    status.created_at = DateTime.parse(post["published"])
    status.save
    puts status
  end
end

Hey, thanks for this code example. I am just writing my own import for Mastodon and your code helped me understand how to handle attachments :))
