# Reddit Video Downloader
2+
3+
### Description:
4+
5+
6+
This is a python script which will download the video of the post in reddit by asking user url of page of the post and also display post title,
7+
subreddit and author name on the console. The video is stored in our local system as download.mp4
8+
### Libraries used:
9+
10+
- requests
11+
12+
### Aim:
13+
14+
To download videos from the reddit posts.
15+
16+
### Purpose:
17+
18+
In reddit, there is no option to download videos which people
19+
post on their account posts. So this script helps to download those videos.
20+
We just want to copy the url of the video on reddit. .
21+
22+
### Workflow:
23+
24+
Import json and get & except module from requests libraries in the Python file that you are going to use to get the reddit post information and video.
25+
Using get we can request data from the url and extract its json data and except is used to provide exceptions.
26+
Now we can easily get the information and links about the post and the video from that web page using json data and display it in our console.
27+
Then we will create a file download.mp4 and store the video in this file.
28+
29+
### Setup Instructions:
30+
31+
1. Install the requests.
32+
2. Run the program
33+
3. The output is displayed in the terminal.
