## Motivation 🤔

These videos on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram get MILLIONS of views across all platforms and require very little effort.
The only original thing being done is the editing and gathering of all materials...

... but what if we can automate that process? 🤔

## Disclaimers 🚨

- **At the moment**, this repository won't attempt to upload this content through this bot. It will give you a file that
  you will then have to upload manually. This is for the sake of avoiding any sort of community guideline issues.

## Requirements

- Python 3.10
- Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)

## Installation 👩‍💻

1. Clone this repository:
    ```sh
    git clone https://github.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot.git
    cd RedditVideoMakerBot
    ```

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
    - On **Windows**:
        ```sh
        python -m venv ./venv
        .\venv\Scripts\activate
        ```
    - On **macOS and Linux**:
        ```sh
        python3 -m venv ./venv
        source ./venv/bin/activate
        ```

3. Install the required dependencies:
    ```sh
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```

4. Install Playwright and its dependencies:
    ```sh
    python -m playwright install
    python -m playwright install-deps
    ```

---

**EXPERIMENTAL!!!!**

   - On macOS and Linux (Debian, Arch, Fedora, CentOS, and based on those), you can run an installation script that will automatically install steps 1 to 3. (requires bash)
   - `bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elebumm/RedditVideoMakerBot/master/install.sh)`
   - This can also be used to update the installation

---

5. Run the bot:
    ```sh
    python main.py
    ```

6. Visit [the Reddit Apps page](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps), and set up an app that is a "script". Paste any URL in the redirect URL field, for example: `https://jasoncameron.dev`.

7. The bot will prompt you to fill in your details to connect to the Reddit API and configure the bot to your liking.

8. Enjoy 😎

9. If you need to reconfigure the bot, simply open the `config.toml` file and delete the lines tha
