No developer wants to do things the slow way. Grab the highest ranking posts of all time from your favorite subreddit and save them locally, all with just a couple of keystrokes. Enjoy!
Use Git to clone the repository. Open the solution in Visual Studio if you want to develop it.
You can also run the included .exe which contains all the assemblies needed to run this, though who would trust an .exe from a random person's Github page?
git clone https://github.com/victoriousj/asp.net-reddit-scraper.gitThis started as a friend wanted me to grab every image they posted to /r/Breadit (a subreddit for bakers) so I started to look into the Reddit OAuth API and that led me here. I quickly put this together so there are probably some problems with how this works but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Feel free to edit this and make it your own.
