This repo consists of 2 python scripts, getUpvoteLinks.py and downloadLinks.py. As the names imply the first one gathers links to the media of posts you upvoted and the second can then download those media files.
In this README I'll show commands using pipenv because I used it here. Change commands correspondingly to your situation.
Using pipenv execute pipenv install, the dependencies will get downloaded
Additionally you'll have to have the correct chromedriver version installed. The version of your Chrome Browser has to be the same and can be checked by going to settings -> About
Using pipenv you can execute pipenv uninstall chromedriver-binary-auto and then
pipenv install chromedriver-binary-auto after having chrome installed or to update to a new
chrome version.

First, log in to your 9gag account on the chrome webbrowser. This will store the authenticating cookie that is necessary to get your private upvotes.
Then run pipenv run python getUpvoteLinks.py [your9gagUsername] inserting your own username.
An optional additional argument is the filename the links get saved into. It will be stored as a .json file.
If the file already exists, posts will get added if they are not in the file yet (media links are compared).
The default is upvoted_posts.json.
Run pipenv run python downloadLinks.py
An optional additional argument is the filename with links to use. The default upvoted_posts.json.
A second argument is the relative path to the folder the results get stored into. The default is
./download
This script will do everything for you, install dependencies, check for the right chromedriver and then run the other scripts with default arguments. It is mainly thought as reference.
