Reddit Downloader Unlocked

Caution

This project is discontinued. It relies on a Reddit API app (via PRAW/OAuth), which requires registering a Reddit developer app. Reddit's API access policies changed in 2023, significantly restricting third-party app usage and making this approach unreliable for most users. The project is archived here for reference only and is no longer maintained.

For a no-credentials alternative, see the RedditMediaDL which uses Reddit's public .rss endpoint instead.

What it did

• Searched subreddits by keyword
• Downloaded media (images, GIFs, videos) and text posts
• Filtered posts by flair
• Threaded concurrent downloads
• Accessed up to 1000 posts per subreddit (vs 100 with the JSON method)

Prerequisites (for reference)

• Python 3.8+
• A Reddit API app (client ID + secret)
• praw and requests modules (pip install -r requirements.txt)
