this appears to actually work. initial tests were wrong.

It would be extremly beneficial to geet along the photos cpations/tittles of those.
Is there some way to get them?
I am interesting of for example only getting 1 photo per day, how I could get the tittle via script?

The following are more things I want to add. I plan to submit pull requests for these, so I would appreciate any comments or objections or suggested tweaks before I start :)

1. flag: --quiet - this will disable all output on the script so I can use it from a cronjob
2. Documentation: The README is incorrect. --subreddits should be --subreddit (without the 's' at the end).
3. config: read args from ~/.config/reddit_get_top_images.cfg (or the equivalent on Windows (%APPDIR% I think) if it exists or from the filepath if --config CONFIG_FILEPATH is passed as a command line argument. This will let me avoid the wrapper script I currently have.
4. flag: --separate_dirs - this boolean flag will ensure that separate subreddits images will go into separate subdirectories (named for the subreddit) of --destination. @Nairwolf , if you want the fun of implementing this (or any of these, really), please let me know.
5. code: slightly improve _make_path.

Thanks!

Would you be interested in adding an option for specifying a download location?

For example, it could be either home directory (current setting) or current working directory (directory where's .py file - os.getcwd()).
Or maybe user could specify a path to a directory where he wants images to be saved?

Hi

System info:

python get_top_images.py -s motivation -p m throws an

Going to need some sort of validation for the file name.

Am I supposed to insert a 'limit' or 'period' for this to work? I did change the user_agent to my own user. Thank you for any assistance.

i think the best way to solve this is to specifically look for this image: s.imgur.com/images/404/cat1weyes.png
