# Reddit Analyst

A python script that gets the posts in r/depression by the top specified redditors of a desired subreddit

.

## Before using the script, you need to create your own Reddit App, and enter the Client ID and the secret token in the specified section of the code. Click [here](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) to create it

.

## How it works

This script gets the top specified redditors (from hot) that posted on a desired subreddit and analizes their account to see if they ever posted on r/depression. Then, returns the number of all the posts of those users in r/depression. The script can be slightly modified to show the posts of the users, simply uncomment line __ of the main.py file. 

It also displays the amount of time that my computer took to analyze every subreddit. 

This repository also includes a graph.py script, that, after specifying the needed info, graphs your results. In a future update, I will combine both of them.

### Simple explanation of what this code means:

This script shows how many posts in r/depression were published by people who also posted on a specified subreddit

## Example:

I tried my code with some subreddits that I thought they would be interesting to see the results and made a graph out of it.

## Requisites:

PRAW

    pip install praw

    

Beepy

    pip install beepy

    

Matplotlib (for the graph script)

    pip install matplotlib

## Installing

- Download or clone the repository.

- Install the requirements in "requirements.txt"

- Execute the main.py Python file (with launcher.bat or witht any other prefered method)

- A command prompt window should appear.

## How to use:

- Create the reddit bot

- Execute the script (a command prompt window should appear)

- Introduce the desired subbredit to analyse.

- Press enter

- Wait until the programm makes a sound.

- Press enter. A txt file will be created with the exact same information as the terminal.

- (optional) Graph the info with the graph.py file 

### Works for sure on:

- Windows 10 with Python 3.9
