You will need to have FFmpeg installed on your machine.
You will also need Reddit credentials.

Create a Reddit account, if you don't already have one
Create a Reddit app
- Give it a name
- Set the redirect URI to "http://127.0.0.1/"

We will need the Client ID (random string under the app name) and Client secret later.

Usage

const Redditube = require("redditube");

// Configure access to Reddit
Redditube.config({
    "userAgent": "Redditube",
    "clientId": "",     // Your Client ID
    "clientSecret": "", // Your Client secret
    "username": "",     // Your Reddit username
    "password": ""      // Your Reddit password
});

// Log start, status, errors and end events (optional)
Redditube.on("start", () => console.log("Start event!"));
Redditube.on("status", status => console.log(status));
Redditube.on("error", error => console.error(error));
Redditube.on("end", () => console.log("End event!"));

// Option 1
// Use .then() and .catch()
Redditube.make("f9cufu", 3).then(videoPath => {
    console.log(videoPath);
}).catch(error => {
    console.log(error);
});

// Option 2
// Await a promise (inside an asynchronous function)
const videoPath = await Redditube.make("f9cufu", 3);
