First post here, big fan of data:) I would like to export all my saved reddit posts either as a text of the saved post, or as a link to the saved post. Preferably both but latter would also be sufficient.

Now I checked my saved posts with a tool https://pvik.github.io/saved-for-reddit/) when the Reddit API was still accessible, but I missed to export them, and the site I linked is obviously not working anymore…

Who could point me into the right direction to complete my task? Any script or similar I’ve missed? Thanks a lot!

    I’ve been using it for years and years, and it has never let me down. Remember, Reddit only holds your last 1000 saved items, so manually export with this site every ‘x’ months, depending on how often you save posts.

      Thanks, it works, although it’s a pity it doesn’t show the date of the saved post, and maybe count them as well? After exporting my saved items with Redditmanager, I opened the html file in an editor and searched for how many entries there are (by counting how many times "<li></li>

      Good input, I just downloaded the backup and the saved_posts.csv has 2092 entries! :D It’s the URL to the saved post in the second column and some cryptic 6 digit code in the first one. And the list of the permalinks isn’t chronological or alphabetical, seems ordered randomly…
