@YatinAdityaT You can take your time on this. Let me know if you need any help with this!

@HarshCasper I've researched a bit and found out to use the Reddit API, I need OAuth Token. I can do things with OAuth and get memes. But it will need a secret each time you make a request. Do you think I should use Reddit's API or try to scrape data with some python/js library.

Both the approaches are okayish for me. Please go ahead with the one that you find the most customizable.

Are you working on this @YatinAdityaT ? Let me know if you need any help.

@HarshCasper Yes, I am... unfortunately our end sems are approaching so I can't dedicate enough time to it... The barebones code is ready but I am not satisfied with its performance. For instance, the program downloads files one after another. I want to add multiprocessing to speed up this process. Also, the videos downloaded don't contain sound in them so I am looking into it...

Thank you for asking, I will let you know if I need any help... 😄

Why do we need to web scrap? We already have Reddit's API for that. @HarshCasper can we use that. And I would like to use Javascript/Python.
