I tried this but getting an error that it is fetching too fast. I did 60 second timer as well. Is there a fix for this?

@@jiejenn ive figured it out thanks.
subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("cats")
all = subreddit.search("flair:humor", time_filter="all")
urllist = []
redditors = []
async for submission in all:
if "gif" in str(submission.url) or "jpeg" in submission.url:
urllist.append(submission.url)
from here use PIL and requests to save to your files

@@jiejenn hey did you find any solution?
I have been able to extract posts and comments but not photos.

[@ShaneZarechian]

Nice, how would you get comments?

[@jiejenn]

You will need to figure out the url of the post first, then append /comment.json. For example www.reddit.com/r/CreditCards/comments/1b35tnk/discover_q2_2024_categories/comments

@@jiejenn hey, with your code i do get an error for comments. How do i have to change the code? Does the url still work like this?
