asyncpraw VS URS

But there’s no need to do any of this if you use an API wrapper such as AsyncPRAW that is designed to handle all the complexity for you and help you automatically stay within the rate limits.

https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io.

First, you don't use praw. You need to be using async libraries otherwise your bot will freeze up whenever it does anything. In this case, you'll be using asyncpraw.

It is strongly recommended to use Async PRAW: https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io. See https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/multiple_instances.html#discord-bots-and-asynchronous-environments for more info.

The Asynchronous Python Reddit API Wrapper

Also, if you're doing this within a web framework like flask or any of the other popular python ones, I highly recommend using prawasync. Praw itself isn't thread safe, so if you create a praw instance somewhere and then reuse it, there's a small chance it gets corrupted.

Hey there! I would recommend checking out the docs at https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io first.

If they don't want you to use their API just respect their wishes and scrape Reddit. https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS it's the only moral thing we can do.

For future visitors the steps that this user needed were: (Install python 3.7) git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS.git cd URS pip3 install . -r requirements.txt Then edit the .env contained in the directory with the reddit api credentials

Just used this repo to do exactly this for a PhD program project. https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS

Shameless plug - I wrote URS which allows you to export comments to JSON in a thread structure. Take a look at the samples branch for examples.

I'm new to python, and coding generally. I'm using a great tool called the Universal Reddit Scraper (https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS) to pull some reddit data. It allows you to scrape subreddits, among other things. It creates a CSV file with list of submissions in a given subreddit with each one's ID as a column.

Because I'm not sure this guy does everything you want https://github.com/JosephLai241/URS
