archeddit

Save posts from Reddit locally. Forever.

This Python code uses the APIs from Teddit instances to get the media URLs and Titles.

It then uses the URL it found to download the media, which are hosted by Reddit Inc.

Saving this locally

$ git clone https://github.com/allendema/archeddit.git
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run it

$ cd archeddit # Changing to this directory.
$ chmod +x archeddit.py # Make the script executable.
$ ./archeddit.py # Running the script.

Use it

Just enter one public Subreddit. It saves the media in a Folder with the name of given sub.

Use cases include downloading top /r/wallpapers or /r/pizza weekly posts.

Heads Up

Made by exploring Python. Inspired by similiar programms. Use at own risk. Teddit instances are choosen randomly to better load-balance. Keep in mind that they are community run.

Use it to archive important things, be polite and cause no harm.

Bonus Information

Depending on changes Reddit Inc. makes, they might or might not block your IP.

Has not happend 'till now.

Soon on Codeberg.org too.
