VredditDownloader

A bot for reddit that provides downloadable links for v.redd.it videos

Table of Contents

About The Project

Videos hosted on the social media platform www.reddit.com are nearly impossible to download, especially with sound. To make sharing easier, I decided to write my own bot that provides an easy way to download them.

Since 2018, I run it on my own Raspberry Pi at home.

Currently, the bot account is VredditDownloader.

Usage

If you just want a quick download link, mention "u/VredditDownloader" as a comment under any reddit post or link containing a video, or send a private message containing the link. The bot will reply within a few seconds.

You can find more info at the bot's reddit profile.
