⁠reddit-video-rotation-bot

A summonable Reddit bot that rotates videos.

For example, to request a video to be rotated 90° clockwise:

Other usage instructions, as well as a full list of rotational parameters can be found here⁠.

Currently, videos from NSFW posts are not supported, mostly because Gfycat does not allow NSFW content anymore.

1. Create a Reddit account that the bot will use to respond to posts (or use your personal account).
2. Navigate to your account's application preference page⁠ and create a new app.
3. Create a refresh token⁠ for your account's app.
4. Create a GfyCat account⁠ and register it for GfyCat API access⁠.
5. Open dockervars.list and fill in the missing fields with the values obtained in the previous steps.
6. Finally, run the latest Docker image (or build and run your own, instructions below):
