Scraping Examples

This section covers common scenarios for collecting Reddit data. All examples assume a collect instance created as described in Setting Up, and all of them store only the columns in your COLUMNS configuration.

• Collecting Subreddit-based Data: submissions, comments and users from specific subreddits.

• Collecting Keyword-based Data: submissions matching a boolean keyword query.

• Database-Driven Data Collection: expanding a corpus from what is already in your database, such as the comments of stored submissions or the history of stored users.
