Redditor Demo GIF

*This GIF has been cut for demonstration purposes.

NOTE: If you are not allowed to access a Redditor's lists, PRAW will raise a 403 HTTP Forbidden exception and the program will just append "FORBIDDEN" underneath that section in the exported file.

All Flags

These are all the flags that may be used when scraping Redditors.

[-u <redditor> <n_results>]

NOTE: The number of results returned are applied to all attributes. I have not implemented code to allow users to specify different number of results returned for individual attributes.

Usage

poetry run Urs.py -u <redditor> <n_results>

Redditor information will be included in the information field and includes the following attributes:

comment_karma
created_utc
fullname
has_verified_email
icon_img
id
is_employee
is_friend
is_mod
is_gold
link_karma
name
subreddit
trophies
