BeReal Exporter

This python script doesn't export photos and realmojis from the social media platform BeReal directly for that, you have to make a request to the BeReal see this Reddit post for more information.

It simple processes the data from the BeReal export and exports the images(as well BTS-videos) with added metadata, such as the original date and location.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Lukullul/bereal-exporter.git
   cd bereal-exporter

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Ensure you have exiftool installed on your system and set it up as a PATH variable. You can download it here.

Usage

To export your images run the script within the BeReal export folder:

python bereal_exporter.py [OPTIONS]

Options

• -v, --verbose: Explain what is being done.
• -t, --timespan: Exports the given timespan.
  • Valid format: DD.MM.YYYY-DD.MM.YYYY.
  • Wildcards can be used: DD.MM.YYYY-*.
