Scrape Reddit images from the Terminal
This shell script will automatically create the following folder:
~/.config/redyt
Also, another file, containing the subreddits, will be created:
~/.config/redyt/subreddit.txt
If the user does not modify this file, it will contain, by default, subreddit linuxmemes
.
However, this default subreddit can be changed by modifying the variable defaultsub
.
Note that you can either pass a subreddit as an argument (./redyt [your-subreddit]
)
or, from dmenu
, type the name of another subreddit.
Here's an example of a custom subreddit.txt
: http://0x0.st/-rbq.txt
Please note: you will need to install the following programs:
- dmenu (User Input)
- jq (JSON parsing)
- sxiv (Image Viewing)
notify-send
is also recommended but, if not present, echo
will be used as a notifier.
