Extract Subreddit Posts' Urls

Steps

First Download the script subreddit_extract_post_urls.py in the above repository.

Next run the following in your terminal:

  pip install praw

1. Navigate to:

  https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps/

2. Click the "are you a developer? create an app..." button or the "create another app..." button and fill out the form like so:
   • choose a name
   • select "web app"
   • set http://localhost:6414/ as "redirect uri"
   • solve the "I'm not a rebot" reCATCHA if needed
   • click "create app"
3. Copy the client id (third line, underneath your application's name and "web app") and put it in the downloaded .py script you downloaded earlier as the "your_client_id".
4. Copy the secret value and put it in the downloaded .py script you downloaded earlier as the "your_client_secret".
5. In your downloaded .py script use "Python:<application name>:v1.0 (by /u/<username>)" as user_agent and replace <application name> and <username> accordingly.
6. In your downloaded .py script replace subreddit_name with the subreddit from which you would like to get the posts' urls from (without the r/).
7. Run the script using the following in your terminal:

  python subreddit_extract_post_urls.py

Ta-da!

NOTE: unfortunately it seems that it maxes out at 1000 urls. I will post an update if I manage to get a workaround.
