How do I scrape comments from reddit posts?

[zaitunishaq]

I started with the Reddit API app for the type of data I wanted, but when I ran the code it gave me an error. What am I doing wrong, please?

I have a project I could use the help of someone of your caliber with. I want to determine the five stocks mentioned most frequently on Reddit's WallStreetBets page on a given day. from January 2022-August 2022 (I have the CSV file for this). After that I want to take the five most commonly mentioned stocks based on number of days in the top 5 from the aforementioned analysis. I would like to plot the number of mentions of the given stock per day against its stock price for the designated time frame. Any help you can offer would be greatly apprecaited.
