PRAW VS snoowrap

I'm... not sure I understand the question? PRAW still works just fine for "personal use" of the reddit API.

Thank you for pointing out. So there is no need then for the access token? Only with the refresh token is enough? To be honest I took a look at it but I did not expect that to be under authentication as strictly speaking, the user already made the authentication. Also I took a look at the code at https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/master/praw/reddit.py and I did not get a hint whether was possible to pass it or not. I am just saying this to let you know I tried to search for the answer before asking. Again thank you for the help.

To get the relevant IDs, you can use something like PRAW to query the subreddit for the top 1000 posts for example.

Huge thanks to the contributors to PRAW, which is the Python package that does all the heavy lifting relating to Reddit's API that I need for this script.

However, in practice duplicate items were yielded with these smaller numbers. So I increased the limit briefly to 250 in October 2016, and then increased it finally to 301 in December 2016 in order to resolve https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/issues/673. That issue provides an explanation for how 301 came to be.

Why? You gotta be ready for any status code. Even 777.

I've look at the source code on https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap/tree/master but the code looks very confusing so I still dont know how it works. Can someone explain? thanks!

There is. Use something like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap and it's easy

You can access directly the official reddit API from this library https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap It was wrappers around all the endpoints https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

I found this library that I can use for streaming everything and from reading this other post on this Reddit it seems like I should first send the comments & submissions to a queue like Apache Kafka and then bulk insert them into my database. I've never used anything like this, so what do you guys recommend?

I use PRAW for the most time but I think otherRequester in this example should work.

Use snoowrap

The Reddit bot looks like it'll be easy. Using a package like https://github.com/not-an-aardvark/snoowrap, it allows syntax like:

I'm learning some JavaScript so I figured I'd do some testing with the Reddit API with snoowrap. I wasn't aware of the API rules when I first started testing, I didn't have a descriptive user agent and I may have been unintentionally making more requests then I should've.
