Hey folks,
Anyone here built or used a solid datahoarder reddit scrapper? I’m tryna archive some subs but don’t wanna reinvent the wheel if someone’s already got a good setup.
I’ve messed with a few Python scripts, but they’re either too slow or break after a few hundred posts. Also, Reddit’s API limits are a pain.
Any tips on tools or libraries that work well? Or maybe a pre-built datahoarder reddit scrapper that’s reliable? Bonus points if it handles media (images, vids, etc.) too.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been using Pushshift.io for scraping Reddit data, and it’s been a lifesaver. It bypasses a lot of the API limits and lets you pull historical data.
For a datahoarder reddit scrapper, I’d recommend combining it with PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper). It’s not perfect, but it’s way faster than rolling your own from scratch.
If you’re looking for media, check out BDFR (Bulk Downloader for Reddit). It’s specifically designed for archiving and handles images/vids pretty well.
Yo, I feel your pain with the API limits. I’ve been using a combo of PRAW and AsyncPRAW for my datahoarder reddit scrapper setup.
AsyncPRAW speeds things up a lot since it handles requests asynchronously. Still gotta deal with rate limits, but it’s way better than plain PRAW.
For media, I’d suggest adding youtube-dl or yt-dlp to your toolkit. They’re not Reddit-specific, but they handle embedded videos like a charm.
If you’re looking for a pre-built solution, check out Reddit-Archive on GitHub. It’s a datahoarder reddit scrapper that’s pretty solid for archiving entire subs.
It’s not the fastest, but it’s reliable and handles media downloads too. Just make sure you’ve got enough storage—it can get hefty real quick.
Honestly, I gave up on building my own datahoarder reddit scrapper and just use RedditManager now. It’s a paid tool, but it’s worth it if you’re archiving a lot.
Handles media, bypasses API limits (kinda), and has a decent UI. Not open-source, but it gets the job done without the headache.
Have you tried using Pushshift with the PMAW wrapper? It’s a Python library that makes Pushshift way easier to work with.
I’ve been using it for my datahoarder reddit scrapper project, and it’s been a game-changer for pulling large datasets. Doesn’t handle media, though, so you’ll need something else for that.
For a quick and dirty datahoarder reddit scrapper, I’d recommend Reddit-Scraper-Toolkit on GitHub. It’s lightweight and easy to tweak.
It’s not the most feature-rich, but it’s great for smaller archives. Plus, it’s got built-in support for downloading images and videos.
I’ve been using BDFR for my datahoarder reddit scrapper needs, and it’s been pretty reliable. It’s designed for bulk downloads, so it handles media and text posts well.
The only downside is it can be a bit slow, but it’s worth it for the consistency. Plus, it’s actively maintained, which is a huge plus.
If you’re okay with a bit of a learning curve, check out Scrapy for building your own datahoarder reddit scrapper. It’s super powerful and can handle large-scale scraping.
Pair it with PRAW or Pushshift, and you’ve got a solid setup. It’s not plug-and-play, but it’s worth the effort if you’re serious about archiving.
I’ve had good luck with Reddit-Archiver on GitHub. It’s a datahoarder reddit scrapper that’s specifically designed for archiving subs.
It’s not the fastest, but it’s reliable and handles media downloads. Plus, it’s got a decent community behind it, so there’s plenty of support if you run into issues.
