I have a multisite installation of WordPress with 200+ sites. I recently was tasked to do an inventory of each site's media library and was wondering if this could be accomplished programmatically with a script? If so, what would be the most efficient way to query each site's media library?

I've tried using wp_get_sites() and then looping through them using the switch_to_blog() function but I've read that the switch_to_blog() function is resource intensive, which is something I have to be mindful of since it's the production server.. I'm assuming I can accomplish the same results using a custom query?– shapadaCommented May 3, 2016 at 20:09

You could also backup the wp-content and database from production to a staging or dev system if you're worried about the load and run the inventory job on copy without loading the production system.– RupCommented May 3, 2016 at 22:18
