Reddit Saved Media Downloader

Current version: 0.5.0

Downloads images and videos from the posts that you have saved on your Reddit account.
This is a PRAW rewrite of the scuffed-as-hell original version of the Reddit Saved Downloader that I wrote two years ago.
I will add utility functions of the original code to this rewrite eventually.

How to use

1. Create your Reddit app.
   • I'm too tired today to explain detailed steps. I'll get to writing this someday.
2. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Make a credentials.py file in the same directory as main.py with the following format:
   • IMPORTANT While not mission-critical, leave USERAGENT as is. At least make sure that it is not empty.

   USERNAME = "Your Reddit username"
   PASSWORD = "Your Reddit password"
   CLIENT_ID = "The app's Client ID"
   SECRET = "The app's Client Secret"
   USERAGENT = "Reddit Saved Downloader PRAW Rewrite"

4. python3 main.py

TODO

• Add comment scraping
• Pipe log to file
• Universal download function, instead of current implementation of download_requests¹
• Add features from RSD V1 (e.g. duplicates filter)
• Skip already downloaded media

1: Unrealistic goal, scrapped. Different websites have different download methods and would require separate functions for each website, which download_requests already achieves.
