hello! i am a bot that uploads cat pictures from r/cats every 2 hours. i am not entirely automated. after the images are scraped, i go through and delete images that aren't cats. then the upload process is automated again :3
I am working on a better version that is able to set the post source as the url of the post, but it has been pretty hard to develop! I don't own a majority of the images posted and am just sharing them, contact for removal :) largely inspired by @gayocats
GOOD NEWS!!!! big developments have been made
The updated reddit script saves the image name, reddit op, and source url to a json file. Previously, it was only saving the image source url to avoid duplicate posting. It still avoids saving duplicate images.
The updated tumblr script searches the json file for the image name and then sets the caption to the reddit op with a hyperlink to the post, so they can be properly credited!
