Hello,
I am not asking about scrapping a whole sunreddit or scrapping all reddit, now just a few select posts,
I noticed that lot of comments get “closed” and you need to open them up by clikcing the (+) button, that can take some time if the post has lot of comments,
I am searching for a way to download the content of one single post, BUT it must handle the (+) itself and it must be able to retrieve all comments (and keeping the parent-son or levels hierarchy).
How can I do that?
Nice timing. Going on a cruise over all of Christmas and won’t have Internet but taking my laptop with me. Could use this on some of the posts I’ve saved thst talk about useful powershell scripts or python stuff.
Hope someone have a solution for us:)
this github should have what you need
https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit
might be hard to get just a few posts, but you can make it do all saved posts
Thanks
dm if you have questions, i might be able to help more. been playing around with BDFR for a bit.
Awesome!
Would you be available in 2 weeks?
I will meddle in this for some project but I have matters to handle before.
You can still use the Reddit API. https://www.reddit.com/dev/api
If you have a bit of coding know-how this should be rather simple
Thanks
Just a heads up, it’s scraping. Scrapping is (simple version) throwing something away or getting rid of it.
It wouldn’t matter, but the title is what draws most users to a post, and you might get useless answers because of that, if people don’t read the text.
