Reddit Media Downloader is a Python CLI tool that scans Reddit posts, comments, saved lists, and subreddits to download linked media locally. It is now defunct due to Reddit's 2023 API restrictions and is no longer maintained.
Use cases
- download all images from a subreddit
- archive my saved reddit posts
- bulk download reddit media
- back up reddit user posts before deletion
- scrape media from reddit comments
When to choose
- you need a historical reference for how reddit scraping worked pre-2023
- you want to fork a media downloader codebase
When to avoid
- you want a working reddit downloader today - the tool no longer functions
- you need maintained software with a license
- you rely on PushShift or the official Reddit API
