Reddit Project (Simple)

Two folders: scripts/ and data/ (with raw/ processed/ reports/). One command appends everything into a single flat file with posts + comments.

Run

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

cp .env.example .env  # add your keys
python scripts/scrape_and_append.py --subs chile RepublicadeChile --limit 100

Outputs:

• data/raw/snapshot_YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.csv (raw posts-only snapshot)
• data/processed/master_reddit.csv (flat master, post+comment)
• data/processed/master_reddit.xlsx (same, one sheet)
• data/reports/daily_posts.png (quick trend)
