Error message

cole o link de um post do Reddit, de um i.redd.it ou de um v.redd.it

What it means

parse_target() failed to classify the supplied URL as a Reddit post, media (i.redd.it / v.redd.it), external link, subreddit, user, or short link. The library throws this anyhow error to tell the user the input is not a recognizable Reddit download target. It is the first validation step of run(), so nothing has been fetched yet.

Solutions

1. Check opts.url is a full https:// Reddit post URL (reddit.com/r/<sub>/comments/<id>/...) or an i.redd.it / v.redd.it media link
2. Strip tracking/query parameters and re-submit the canonical post URL
3. If you have a short link (redd.it/<id>), pass it — it is resolved via Target::Short — but ensure it actually points to a post
4. Verify the URL includes the scheme (https://); add it if missing

Example fix

// before
run(RunOpts { url: "my-favorite-post".into(), .. })
// after
run(RunOpts { url: "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/abc123/title/".into(), .. })

fn is_reddit_post_or_media(url: &str) -> bool {
    let u = url.trim();
    u.starts_with("https://")
        && (u.contains("reddit.com/r/") && u.contains("/comments/")
            || u.contains("i.redd.it/")
            || u.contains("v.redd.it/"))
}
// call before run(): assert!(is_reddit_post_or_media(&opts.url));

fn looks_like_reddit_url(s: &str) -> bool {
    s.starts_with("https://") && s.contains("reddit.com") || s.contains("redd.it/")
}

When it happens

Trigger: run()/baixa_um_video_de_verdade/baixa_uma_galeria_de_verdade called with opts.url that is empty, not a URL, a reddit.com/comments listing without an id, an old.reddit.com variant parse_target doesn't recognize, or a non-Reddit URL.

Common situations: Pasting only a post title or id instead of the full link; copying a link from a share sheet that yields a tracking URL; feeding a search-results or crosspost page; typos like 'redd.it' without scheme handled differently by parse_target.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Invalid URL" errors: why new URL(), URI.parse, and reqwest::Url reject your string — missing scheme, whitespace, and bad path format — this error's family across 39 libraries.
