Scrap all posts from a subreddit

SubReddit Scraper

Download all posts from a subreddit

Steps

1. Get all posts ids from pushshift.io
2. Query ids from reddit api in the batches of 100
3. Merge by id

Running

Get your own reddit api keys and replace:

reddit_client_id = ''
reddit_client_secret = ''

If you want to run steps 1 and 2, set them True:

do_step_1_now = False
do_step_2_now = False

Otherwise, it will use the sample data, which is ChatGPT subreddit on Jan 26th.

python3 reddit-crawler.py
