Console application for downloading images from Reddit in Python
This short Python script was created for the mass-downloading of images from Reddit. It will be used later for creating data-sets for several Machine Learning projects.
In order to use the script, you will have to have a Reddit account sign-up to create a developer account. You will be assigned a client_id and client_secret which you have to enter in config.ini before you run the script.
Usage
The -r parameter provides a list of sub-reddits to search.
The -st parameter can specify the maximum number of images to download from each sub-reddit. Defaults to 1000.
The -t parameter can specify the total number of images to download across all sub-reddits before
