Export Saved

Exports saved Reddit posts into a HTML file that is ready to be imported into Google Chrome. Sorts items into folders by subreddit.

Requirements

• Python 2.X
• pip
• git (recommended)

Installation

With git:

git clone https://github.com/csu/export-saved-reddit.git
cd export-saved-reddit
pip install -r requirements.txt

Without git, download the source code from GitHub, extract the archive, and follow the steps above beginning from the second line.

Usage

1. In the export-saved-reddit folder (created by the git clone), rename the AccountDetails.py.example file to AccountDetails.py.
2. Open the AccountDetails.py in a plain text editor and enter your Reddit username and password within the corresponding quotation marks. Save and close the file.
3. 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.
