I created this script to download the latest (and greatest) wallpapers off of image subreddits like wallpaper to keep my desktop wallpaper fresh and interesting. The main idea is that the script would download any JPEG or PNG formatted image that it found listed in the specified subreddit and download them to a folder.
This fork goal is to create web gui, so it can be paired with hydrus.

An example of running this script to download images with a score greater than 50 from the wallpaper sub-reddit into a folder called wallpaper would be as follows:
python redditdl.py wallpaper wallpaper --score 50
And to run the same query but only get new images you don't already have, run the following:
python redditdl.py wallpaper wallpaper --score 50 -update
For getting some nice pictures of cats in your catsfolder (wich will be created if it doesn't exist yet) run:
python redditdl.py cats ~/Pictures/catsfolder --score 1000 --num 5 --sfw --verbose
To download from certain thread, you can use thread id. The valid command are following:
python redditdl.py --last 508k37 gaming
To download from multireddit from an user run:
python redditdl.py someuser/m/some_multireddit
Retrieve last 10 pics in the 'wallpaper' subreddit with the word "sunset" in the title (note: case is ignored by (?i) predicate)
python redditdl.py wallpaper sunsets --regex '(?i).*sunset.*' --num 10
Download top week post from subreddit 'animegifs' and use gfycat gif mirror (if available)
python redditdl.py animegifs --sort-type topweek --mirror-gfycat
The following command will run the server on port 5004 with thread mode
redditdl-server run -p 5004 --with-threadsImport following hydrus' booru config (assuming the server is run on port 5004)
