reddit-comment-bot VS asyncpraw

Here's what I found after a very brief google search. Seems like a decent starting point. https://github.com/yashar1/reddit-comment-bot

I'm trying to make a bot to reply to comments (from just one specific subreddit) automatically. I've created a separate account to be the bot, and created an app under that account. I'm now trying to figure out how python works. I'm trying to use this GitHub page: https://github.com/yashar1/reddit-comment-bot

Here is my source code

Here is my source code If you have any questions or problems send a message

Here is the original https://github.com/yashar1/reddit-comment-bot/blob/master/reddit_bot.py

I wanted to test a bot I'd found on Git, to get an idea of how to write my own and where I was going wrong. I fixed some errors with his code, like no () after print. I also commented out config because it spit an error out at me and doesn't seem like it was actually used. But when I run it, I get all the prints, and then it goes to sleep, but there is no comment reply posted.

You could use a bot like this one https://github.com/yashar1/reddit-comment-bot to listen for other opportunities.

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.

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.
