Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
reddit-multimodal-crawler
Advanced tools
This is a wrapper to the PRAW
package to scrape content from image in the form of csv
, json
, tsv
, sql
files.
This repository will help you scrape various subreddits, and will return to you multi-media attributes.
You can pip install this to integrate with some other application, or use it as an commandline application.
pip install reddit-multimodal-crawler
Before running the code, you should have registered with the Reddit API and create a sample project to run the code and obtain the client_id
, client_secret
and make a user_agent
. Then pass them in the arguements.
Although, the easier way is to use the pip install reddit-multimodal-crawler
.
This will help you scrape multiple subreddits just like PRAW
but, will also return and save datasets for the same. Will scrape the posts and the comments as well.
