reddit-archive

Download and archive a Reddit post with everything attached to it — full text, the whole comment tree, images, galleries, and v.redd.it video with the audio actually merged back in. Use whenever someone wants to save, download, archive, back up, or scrape a Reddit post or thread; download a Reddit video or gallery; capture a thread before it is deleted; or build a dataset from Reddit content. Also use when a downloaded Reddit video has no sound, which is the usual symptom of taking fallback_url instead of merging the DASH streams, or when a gallery download returns 403. Produces a self-contained directory with a manifest, so the capture is reproducible and auditable. Not for posting to Reddit.
