Reddit is a huge ecosystem brimming with data that is readily available at our very fingertips. As a data-minded person, I wanted to take advantage of this and perform some analysis using this vast repository of open-source data.
Initially, it turned out that getting to grip with Reddit’s API wasn’t as clear-cut as expected — despite being a straightforward process; it can be a little confusing at first.
So, after figuring everything out, I wrote this article — which I hope will help a few of you to get familiar with using the Reddit API in Python. We will cover:
- Getting Access
- Making Requests
- Reading the Data
- Streaming New Posts
- Parameters
