This repository contains the source code for RedditArchiver, a high-performance, multithreaded command-line utility for archiving high-resolution images and videos from Reddit profiles without requiring an API key.
To run the project, you need Python 3.10+ installed on your system.
-
Clone the repository.
-
Install the required dependencies from your terminal or command prompt:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the script:
python extractor.py
-
The CLI will interactively ask for the target username and your active
reddit_sessioncookie. The downloaded media will be automatically organized into a localreddit_<username>_archive/directory.
NOTE: The reddit_session cookie acts as a master key to your Reddit account and is required to natively bypass Reddit's 403 Forbidden firewall blocks. Treat this string exactly like a password. Never commit it to a public repository, share it online, or show it on a live stream.
