How To Scrape Reddit Using Python's praw - WallSteetBets WSB Website Part 1

In this video we create a reddit scraper that will go through WallStreetBets posts and finds which are the Stocks that they mention the most.

This is the first part of the Series where we build a website that shows the most popular stocks in WallStreetBets (r/WSB).

Coding books I recommend:

My Setup:

where I got the Stocks from:

Anyone know if it's possible to have no limit on the posts you're scraping from the sub? I'm trying to get all the posts from a smaller subreddit into an excel file just for analytical purposes; but when I don't specify a limit, it defaults to 100 entries, and when I specify a very large limit, it only returns 1000

For some reason mine says client_id is missing, even though I have entered my client_id in the praw.ini file.

Great video! Quick question, how to scrape the historical posts (past 1 year, for example) with date time stamp

I have no idea what I'm missing but I don't understand where you reference to collect the tickers from the specified subreddit wallstreetbets? Why isn't the wallstreetbet necessary to be written out in the script?

Hello, great video. I am getting the error code "TypeError: StockPost() takes no arguments" Do you have any idea how to overcome this problem?

I have question about why when I am running your code, it all ways tells me to import praw? even i have download and install python

Do you have a patreon? This was a great video.

whenever i run the code, the code just prints numbers without stock mentions. the same as your numbers before it printed the stocks, but it just keeps printing numbers, i mean. it would be great if you could add README file, because you didn't really explain this code good. i mean this doesn't make sense if you are not going to explain the code better. what about the url? i mean should i post url of the subbreddit that i want to scrape, or is it somehow by default only wallstreetbets, comon man, you can't do this
