Feeling Board? This SCRIPT can give you a bunch of reddit videos of your interest in SECONDS!. No Account/Signing Needed.
Having a bot is really a cool thing. So let's build one for ourselves. If you keep reading i've a surprise specially for you.
🤖 Introduction to BOT
This bot downloads the most popular videos from a specific subreddit channel. It is written in Python and will require internet access to the function (Ofcourse). It will provide a list of videos in the highest resolution available.
⚙ How does it work?
There're two phases. In the first phase, it will get links to all the top videos from a given subreddit. And in the second phase, it will download videos and save them to your machine. Easy right? Yeah it is.
🧻 The First Phase
Getting the video links of top videos from a given subreddit. On reddit each video element has a class from which we will target that element and get the link.
element = soup.find_all("a", class_="SQnoC3ObvgnGjWt90zD9Z _2INHSNB8V5eaWp4P0rY_mE")
Let's see the whole script of link scraper.
This function will return all top links of videos as a list.
📺 The Second Phase
It will download the video and save it to your directory.
Now we've two functions, one to get links of videos and another to download a single video by link.
📞 Start.py
The components are done. Now it's time to make them work together by creating a script to make them work for each other. See the final step below.
Can't embed video here. So i've uploaded video to Drive.
