Guide Tools Reddit Explorer - A custom designed tool

It's a Reddit API issue. The service goes down every now and then, but they usually get it back up and running after a while. When that happens, I just use the official GitHub search tool (https://ihsoyct.github.io/) and switch to the Pushshift API.
 
Yeah, looks like it's back. Although I wonder if it would be worth it to code up a fallback. And maybe also get a Github page going for proper collab since I already have an anon Github user for updates to the XenForoDownloader script.
 
I didn't think of that, but we could host it on GitHub and make it collaborative. You're totally right.
 
Hey everyone,
Quick update on the search engine we’re building: we’ve just implemented an automated backend failover system.
What’s new?
The engine now dynamically switches between ArticShift and PushPull. If the active backend experiences a failure or goes offline, the system automatically routes all search traffic to the other one in real time.
We're currently fine-tuning the health-check thresholds. Let me know if you have any feedback or tips on optimizing this kind of handoff!
Cheers.

Does the version you've linked here have the features that thotnow built into the previous version?
I added a feature to an even earlier version that builds a zip file of all material on a profile so you can one click download it.
Obviously there are current tools that rip Reddit accounts, but they do not grab deleted materials like this Reddit tool does.
Anyway, I'd like to add it to one of these newer versions that has all the available current features, but I don't want to pump out yet another version lol.
 
Hi everyone,
I’ve been tracking the recent updates to Reddit Explorer—great work!
Since it’s just an HTML/JavaScript file, it would be awesome if someone with the technical know-how could set up a GitHub repository for it. This would make it much easier to organize everyone's contributions and keep the code clean as it grows.
Let me know what you think if anyone is down to set it up!
 
Sure, I can set one up.

It's empty right now, but I'm consolidating the changes from thotnow and the new backend stuff. Should be up in an an hour or so.
Question: Do you want credit or should we leave it anonymous on the GitHub?
I can either add you as a contrib on the GH, or you can just push your changes here and I'll add them. Would be a good opportunity to learn about Git and get Claude to walking you through anonymizing a repo and a push.
EDIT: Github is updated now. You can just download the file and use it. It's now consolidated into one script with dynamic layout for desktop and mobile. All changes so far are in there plus some security and anonymity fixes.
 
i used to use a tool called 'rip me' which would pull the images from reddit and save it in a folder, it stopped working at one point. Anyone know of an alternative or does reddit explorer do this?
 
It still works, buddy. You just need to find rip.properties file and add your reddit_session cookie value such as:
cookies.reddit.com = reddit_session={value}
However I don't like it that much since it downloads the same images, videos over and over again with different file names and without checking duplicates. Because the users share same content in different subs.
 
Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to upload it to GitHub, I really appreciate it! Regarding the credit, I actually prefer to remain anonymous, but thanks for asking. I'm just glad the project is up there. Thanks again for your time and effort!
 
Everyone is just vibe coding this thing so I don't think crediting is important. Credit my updates to Claude.
I'm going to provide the version I built with the zip to rip entire profiles. It also includes filtering domains (mostly used this to avoid redgifs content that's easier to find elsewhere).
If you want to merge these updates into the existing version with thotnow's updates, feel free.
*Please note this is set to download slowly and steadily. It does not check for dupes*. Downloading any faster gets rate limited hard, and checking for dupes is way easier once everything is local.

New version 0.6 updated.
https://github.com/courtneydax/reddit-explorer
Added the following features, thanks rexin
  • Media type filtering
  • URL blocking
Created a separate file for the version with downloading. You can't download directly from Reddit due to cross-site scripting, so it routes through public CORS proxies. Not something I'd personally do, but I kept that version for those interested. More details on the repo README.
 
There is a problem when I try download zip with media more than 2Gb in chrome based browser. That's
Code: 
array buffer allocation failed
error

Could you fix it please?
 
Chrome has a hard limit of 2GB on the internal buffer. I'm not sure if that's even fixable, but will take a look when I get a chance. Worst case we might be able to export the link list to a file that you can import into something like JDownloader.
 
Hey, I have a problem when clicking the Sleuth button I get a Cloudflare Tunnel error. Why is that?
