Ask HN: Scraping Reddit in python
How do yo scrape reddit?
- savethefuture 10y agoYou write a scrapper, you could use python. Beautiful Soup might be useful.
- fhoffa 10y agoWhy do you want to scrape reddit? If you want comments and posts, they are already shared. For example, in BigQuery: https://www.reddit.com/r/bigquery/comments/3cej2b/17_billion_reddit_comments_loaded_on_bigquery/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bigquery/comments/3cej2b/17_billion...
- habitual_coder 10y agoread the api documentation for reddit, follow the rules, use python+praw to make requests. Writing a script with BeautifulSoup or similar seems like a headache.
