# RedditRefresh
## Reddit Bulk Comment/Post Management Tool
This script allows you to Mass **Delete**, **Cryptographically Hash**, **Encrypt** or **Decrypt** your Reddit posts or comments for better privacy and security.
## Setting up the script
1. Download the latest release from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/karan51ngh/RedditRefresh/releases) and Extract the ZIP file. Or Clone the repository:
> `git clone https://github.com/karan51ngh/RedditRefresh.git`
3. Install the required packages: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
4. Go to [https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) and create a new "script" type application. You can name it whatever you like and set the description and about url to anything you want. You can add http://localhost:8080/ as the **redirect uri**.
5. Open `authentication.py` in a text editor and edit the following information:
```
CLIENT_ID = ""
CLIENT_SECRET = ""
PASSWORD = ""
USER_AGENT = ""
USERNAME = ""
```
For Help with the above step refer the following image:
5. Run the script:
```shell
cd RedditRefresh
python main.py
```
6. It creates a file called `LOGS.md` that saves all your comments and posts before hashing or deletion.
## How to Use
1. **Choose a Mode:** The script operates in four different modes:
- **DELETE Mode**: Hashes your content using SHA-256 before deleting it.
- **HASH Mode**: Only hashes your content without deleting it.
- **ENCRYPT Mode**: Encrypts your content using the AES algorithm, allowing future decryption.
- **DECRYPT Mode**: Decrypts previously encrypted content.
2. **Select Content Type:** Decide whether to process:
- **COMMENTS**
- **POSTS**
3. **Specify a Subreddit (Optional):**
- Enter a subreddit name to restrict the script to that specific subreddit.
- Leaving this blank will make the script apply to all subreddits.
4. **Set a Time Range (Optional):**
- Enter a **start date** and **end date** to filter content within a specific time range.
- If left empty, the script will apply to all content regardless of date.
- **Note:** The time for each date is set to **00:00:00 UTC**.
5. **Confirm Execution:**
- After providing the necessary inputs, confirm the execution, and the script will process your Reddit content accordingly.
## How it works
It uses the [PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper)](https://github.com/praw-dev/praw) library to access the Reddit API and process the your posts and comments based on a particular sub-reddit you posted to, or on a given time threshold.
