# Project Arctic Shift
Making Reddit data accessible to researchers, moderators and everyone else.
Interact with the data through large dumps, an API or web interface.
## Downloads
All download links are organized [here](./download_links.md). Once a new dump is available, it will
also be added on the [releases page](https://github.com/ArthurHeitmann/arctic_shift/releases).
Alternatively for downloading data of users or smaller subreddits, you can use [this tool](https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/download-tool).
For information on how the data was collected and modified, see [here](./file_content_explanations.md).
## API
Depending on your use case, you can try my (limited) [API](./api). For manual queries, you can use [this tool](https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search).
## Usage
First download one more dumps from the above links.
Generally I'd recommend to work with the compressed files instead of unpacking them. Unless of
course you have seemingly infinite disk space.
With the helper scripts in this repository you can quickly get started.
For working with zst_blocks files though a cli, go to the [zst_blocks repository](https://github.com/ArthurHeitmann/zst_blocks_format).
For using the helper scripts:
(You need at least Python 3.10)
1. Clone this repository and its submodules
```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ArthurHeitmann/arctic_shift.git
cd arctic_shift
```
2. Install the `zstandard` library
```bash
pip install zstandard
```
3. Open [scripts/processFiles.py](scripts/processFiles.py) in your editor. That script can process .zst_blocks,
.zst and new line delimited .jsonl files.
4. Enter the path to a file or folder in `fileOrFolderPath` (since it is a raw string, you don't have to escape
backslashes). If you enter a folder, all files in that folder will be processed.
5. Add your code to the `processFile` function.
6. Run the file and be (very) patient.
