Sketchpad reviews and mentions

• I'm scared of loosing this safe space (and other trans subreddits) in the face of API changes and possible hate flood that will come after
  2 projects | /r/asktransgender | 10 Jun 2023

  Also I'm gonna try and download all of the trans subreddits using this script https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/postDownloader.py. hopefully I can get it working tomorrow.

• Reddit’s plan to kill third-party apps sparks widespread protests

  Looks like there are also some unofficial, faster ways. But I don't know if they work: https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/postDownloader.py

• Script to find overlapping users between subreddits from dump files
  2 projects | /r/pushshift | 25 May 2023

  A while back I wrote a fairly popular script that used the pushshift api to find overlapping users between subreddits. This doesn't work anymore since the api is down, so I threw together an updated script that does the same thing using the subreddit dump files.

• PRAW - getting ONLY top comments of a single specific thread efficiently
  1 project | /r/redditdev | 17 Apr 2023

  If you actually just want to level comments I have an example here https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/load_top_level.py

• Help with search and count results script of reddit API
  1 project | /r/pushshift | 30 Mar 2023

  I have a script here that lets you download a specific subreddit or users entire history using pushshift. It's a good example of how the url works and how to iterate through results based on timestamp. You can add a q=keyword parameter to filter to only submissions/comments matching a specific keyword. And you could remove the subreddit parameter if you want data from all of reddit.

• Are the more comments objects directive, or random?
  1 project | /r/redditdev | 17 Mar 2023

  I have an old script I wrote a long time ago to fetch only the top level comments in a thread here, which isn't quite what you're trying to do but should be a good example.

• Getting more than 1000 threads.

• Separate dump files for the top 20k subreddits
  4 projects | /r/pushshift | 28 Feb 2023

  In addition to the dump files, pushshift offers an API with powerful filtering options. The main limitation is that it takes quite some time to download a substantial amount of data. If you have a use case that doesn't cleanly align to specific subreddits, take a look at my api download script here. Again I'm happy to work with you to build something for a specific use case.

• Looking for advice on how to identify users based on unique combinations of subreddit activity
  1 project | /r/pushshift | 24 Jan 2023

  There was a script posted at https://github.com/Watchful1/Sketchpad/blob/master/overlapCounter.py This does exactly what I need by using the pushift api, but seems too slow to work as a web app, and also I have no idea where to begin in converting the script to a web app.
