Export saved Reddit posts into a HTML file for import into Google Chrome.
Exports saved and/or upvoted Reddit posts into a HTML file that is ready to be imported into Google Chrome. Sorts items into folders by subreddit.
First, make sure you have Python 3.x, pip, and git installed on your machine.
Run the following in your command prompt to install:
git clone https://github.com/csu/export-saved-reddit.git
cd export-saved-reddit
pip install -r requirements.txt
To install without git, download the source code from GitHub, extract the archive, and follow the steps above beginning from the second line.
Make a new Reddit app to get a client id
and a client secret
.
In the export-saved-reddit
folder, rename the AccountDetails.py.example
file to AccountDetails.py
.
Open the AccountDetails.py
in a text editor and enter your Reddit username, password, client id, client secret within the corresponding quotation marks. Save and close the file.
Back in your shell, run python export_saved.py
in the export-saved-reddit
folder. This will run the export, which will create chrome-bookmarks.html
and export-saved.csv
files containing your data in the same folder.
