reddit-flair-popularity VS psaw

And another script https://github.com/ZhangYiJiang/reddit-flair-popularity

PSAW is deprecated: https://github.com/dmarx/psaw Try PMAW. Although, be aware of the well documented, ongoing issues with Pushshift itself; some of the wrappers aren't working as expected. I suspect that once the API itself is functioning normally there may be further updates to the wrappers.

This information is contained in the Readme on Github but is not in the readthedocs page for some reason.

You could use https://github.com/dmarx/psaw to monitor keywords. I haven't personally used it but it is a popular method.

You can do the first part easily with PSAW if you use python, it lets you get submissions from pushshift and then updates them with the current data from the reddit api. Then you would have to sort them, which is also fairly easy with python.

Most of PRAWs methods have a limit argument. Usually with a default of 100. Set it to None, which actually sets the limit to 1000. You'd have to resort to other APIs if you want more than 1000 items like this: https://github.com/dmarx/psaw.

To get live scores or other metadata, you should incorporate accessing the reddit API into your workflow. One easy way to do this is using the 3rd party Pushshift wrapper called PSAW. See the note about setting r = praw.Reddit(...) and api = PushshiftAPI(r).

PSAW: https://github.com/dmarx/psaw

Try using psaw. That will query Pushshift first and copy over updated data from reddit.

Try without the `asc` sort parameter. From the source code we can see that it can cause issues https://github.com/dmarx/psaw/blob/master/psaw/PushshiftAPI.py#L162-L164

I again changed the way I collect data. Adapted from (https://deepnote.com/@deepnote/Mining-and-Exploring-Reddit-Data-using-Python-rfZ7TRRAT2unpCqU6egaKA) and using PSAW (Python Pushshift.io API Wrapper) (https://github.com/dmarx/psaw).
