Thanks for watching guys! Got a new mic, hope the sound is a little cleaner now. Any feedback would be great and let me know if you've got any questions.

Can't believe I am taking lessons on creating a bot from Che Guevara!! :D

Great video man, thanks for sharing I'm just getting into coding, this is literally my first video, I would love if you had some references to share of where to start to how to learn to do this stuff! thanks again and thanks in advance!

Love this video! You explained the process very well and I'll probably be trying this myself sometime.
Quick question, just out of curiosity. If you used a different method, could you make a bot that doesn't need to be registered at prefs/apps? Like, you could just make a regular user account manually, and have the script run on there?

Very helpful overview! I appreciate the pacing of this video.

Excellent video! BTW, those things in the URL are slashes, NOT backslashes.

Ok I am really confused... I have no experience with Python and GitHub. I downloaded all the stuff, so I don't know how to open scripts. How do I start writing one??

[uddyee]

Thanks. Really helped me. I made a new bot in under 5 mins.
Can you help me one query?
How to get past RATELIMIT? Some way to set a timer to not crowd reddit.

What version of praw are you using for this?

John, can I make a reddit bot that does this?:

every time a keyphrase is written in a reddit comment, that comment gets posted to my website?

or am i limited to just novelty replies to reddit comments?

Hey, great video. I'm new to this and I'm currently looking to build a bot similar to the one you've shown in this video. My question is, where is the code pulling the dictionary definition from? Is it a dictionary you've created separately? Or is it a public dictionary? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks

How can I make this bot without pyenchant? Enchant is no longer maintained and cannot be installed :/

How do you get the script uploaded to reddit

[Mkrabs]

I haven't looked into the documentary, but how would i retrieve "my inbox" or a message with "my u/username" ?
thanks!

Hey! Great vid, my bot works! I can't get it to stop running though. Anything in command prompt isnt working. I can't even type. Any help?

[bubbachubs]

How do I avoid the rate limit for commenting? It's screwing me up and causing my program to output "to frequent" instead of responding.

[NemoNobody]

Good video but I feel like you didn't cover the hardest part, that is actually getting it to run on reddit.

[call_me_anny]

is there anyway to use multiple keyphrase's?

[IRsBlueManMoney-Channel]

So you just enter code into Python and it works? Does it always run if you save it and close the program, or does the bot only run when it’s open?

how do we prevent errors such as a comment that has other words in the comment body such as "!wordbot hello my name is bob"?
