# archeddit

Save posts from Reddit locally. Forever.

This Python code uses the APIs from [Teddit](https://codeberg.org/teddit/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

```bash

$ git clone https://github.com/allendema/archeddit.git

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

```

## Run it

```bash

$ 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](https://teddit.net/r/wallpapers/) or [/r/pizza](https://teddit.net/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](https://codeberg.org/explore/) too.
