Reddit Video Maker Bot 🎥

All done WITHOUT video editing or asset compiling. Just pure ✨programming magic✨.

Motivation 🤔

These videos on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram get MILLIONS of views across all platforms and require very little effort. The only original thing being done is the editing and gathering of all materials...

... but what if we can automate that process? 🤔

Disclaimers 🚨

• At the moment, this repository won't attempt to upload this content through this bot. It will give you a file that you will then have to upload manually. This is for the sake of avoiding any sort of community guideline issues.

Requirements

• Python 3.10
• Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)

Installation 👩‍💻

1. Clone this repository
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run python -m playwright install and python -m playwright install-deps

EXPERIMENTAL!!!!

On macOS and Linux (debian, arch, fedora and centos, and based on those), you can run an install script that will automatically install steps 1 to 3. (requires bash)

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/master/install.sh)

This can also be used to update the installation

4. Run python main.py
5. Visit the Reddit Apps page., and set up an app that is a "script". Paste any URL in redirect URL. Ex:google.com
6. The bot will ask you to fill in your details to connect to the Reddit API, and configure the bot to your liking
7. Enjoy 😎
8. If you need to reconfigure the bot, simply open the config.toml file and delete the lines that need to be changed. On the next run of the bot, it will help you reconfigure those options.

(Note if you got an error installing or running the bot try first rerunning the command with a three after the name e.g. python3 or pip3)
