So I am often trying to download all posts of the current day in a subreddit, however of course the number of upvotes is heavily dependent on how old the posts are. To circumvent this, I am trying not to download either posts or comments, but just extract the IDs and save them in a text file; in order to later download them using --include-post-ids.
Currently I am using this command to simulate a run without actually downloading anything and save the log:
Then I parse the log for the IDs:
However, this is of course not very clean and breaks when new modules are added. There are multiple suggestions that I could think of solving this problem, and some are probably easier to implement than others:
I'm gonna leave it up to you, Serene, which ones you think are helpful or easy to implement, but at least one would be nice. Thanks for maintaining this project by the way, as data hoarder it is a gift.
