To create a script that downloads the images for the top 10 posts of all time from r/pics, you'll need to use the PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper) library. Below is an example script that demonstrates how to do this:

import praw
from urllib import request
import os
import io
import json

# Your reddit account must be authorized as described here: https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/authentication.html
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='your-client-id', client_secret='your-client-secret', username='your-username', password='<PASSWORD>')

# Get the top submissions in 'all' category on r/pics
submissions = reddit.subreddit('pics').top('all', limit=10)  # Adjust 'limit' parameter according to your needs

for submission in submissions:
   if not submission.stickied and submission.is_image():
       print(f"Downloading image from {submission.url}")
       try:
           response = request.urlopen(submission.url)
           imgdata = response.read()
           with open(os.path.basename(submission.url), 'wb') as fh:
               fh.write(imgdata)
       except Exception as e:
           print(e)
           continue

# If you want to save the metadata along with the images, you can also scrape some information from each post
# For example:
metadata = []
for submission in submissions:
   try:
       post_dict = {}
       post_dict['title'] = submission.title
       post_dict['score'] = submission.score
       post_dict['permalink'] = submission.permalink
       post_dict['author'] = submission.author
       post_dict['url'] = submission.url
       metadata.append(post_dict)
   except Exception as e:
       print(e)
       continue

# Save the metadata to a file if desired
with open('pics_posts_metadata.json', 'w') as outfile:
   json.dump(metadata, outfile)

Please replace 'your-client-id', 'your-client-secret', 'your-username', and 'your-password' with your actual credentials obtained from Reddit when setting up your application.

This script does the following:

1. Authenticates with Reddit using OAuth2 via PRAW.
2. Fetches the top 10 non-sticky submissions from r/pics sorted by "all time" popularity.
3. Checks if each submission is an image post (submission.is_image() returns True).
4. Downloads the image from the URL provided by the submission object.
5. Saves the downloaded image files locally with their original names.
6. Optionally scrapes additional metadata such as title, score, permalink, author, and url for each post.
7. Saves the metadata to a JSON file named pics_posts_metadata.json.

Make sure to install the PRAW library before running the script:

pip install praw
