word_cloud VS reddit_api

wordcloud to make the word clouds

- Logo with WordCloud. The texts used were from the plot/synopsis from the Wikipedia pages of the top 20 anime according to MyAnimeList (excluding anime from the same series. I'm looking at you Gintama).

Here's a GitHub issue that tracks this.

Word arrangement generated using the wordcloud Python package with a custom placement mask (skull design by me) and custom color function. Common English words removed before processing.

After reading this tutorial you should now be able to generate your own Wordcloud using Python. Checkout the WordCloud for Python Documentation. Use your imagination and have fun. Please leave like or comment if you found this article interesting!

If you are proficient with Python then there is also the wordcloud library (and its homepage/documentation) to make a custom word cloud for yourself rather than relying on TagCrowd. For example, I noticed that using the HasteBin as a URL source caused TagCrowd to put some gibberish words in the cloud, like “donaeurtmt”, which do not appear when simply pasting the raw text into the text field.

The project is very heavily based on https://github.com/amueller/word_cloud

A quick and easy way to get some context into anything being mentioned ensure the CSV is only the responses and run it through a word cloud generator in Python to determine what those keywords are. That should help you see what your customers are at least mentioning and then go from there to look for surrounding context.

wordcloud, apyori, a list of stopwords, TextBlob, PRAW for reddit(but I might change that to pushshift.io later)

All the while over these years, our API, which was ultimately built to be that thing that lets the website talk to the servers (and vice versa) became increasingly codified and relied upon for a rich ecosystem of third party scripts. And, I do mean “website” here. The roots of the most recent Reddit API date back to a time before Apps! The open nature of our APIs have allowed a rich ecosystem of 3rd party reddit apps to grow and flourish long before we got to building our own. It also means that, hough Automod solves many problems, community-specific moderation bots based in toolkits like PRAW could be build to solve many more problems. Even the usage of the word “bot” has different meanings on Reddit. Whereas on other platforms it is a shortcut to discussions of inauthenticity and manipulation, on Reddit it’s a descriptor of a large ecosystem of “good bots” built to provide such varied services as moderation support, summarization of text, and even metric to imperial unit conversions.
