YouTube Video information bot

16 Upvotes

A lot of people leave YouTube links in their comments, with no explanation about what the video is. You may not want to view the video without knowing its title and duration, so this bot is here to do just that.

It picks up YouTube links from comments, and generates a table consisting of the Video title, short description and duration.

This is my first bot, I would love to hear feedback on it.

Here's an image showing the bot in action : http://imgur.com/a/x4h0m

For some reason, I keep running into API rate limits, and the bot can only post once every 10 minutes. Is there any way to get around it? As of now, I haven't deployed it, it's running only on my computer.

Can I have some feedback on this bot I made?

5 Upvotes

Just made a bot that looks through a specific subreddit (always the one where it is called via. comment) and looks for reposts. It looks for reposts by comparing titles, links, and the content of a submission's body.

Do you think this bot would be useful? Are there any tweaks that I could make to make this bot more useful?

Future Plans

My bot currently isn't able to compare image from linked posts. In the future I hope the bot would be able to look at the image of the post of where it is called and find the exact submission where the image was posted already, even though the image might be reposted via. a separate link.

I'm not exactly sure how to do that yet but I know it's something that I'll need to add. It'll probably have to be done using karma decay but I'm not exactly sure. Any help on this would be nice, too.

What now?

What subreddits are bot friendly? Right now I only run the bot in r/test because I don't want to get banned. I plan on expanding to more in the future but I'll ask for permission first as to not get banned.

Thanks for any help.

Twitter Transcriber Bot

4 Upvotes

I know this has already been done before (and I'm pretty sure RES already does it automatically if you expand a twitter link), but I figured I would try to see if I could do it myself.

I used Python with the praw and tweepy modules to do this.

The bot in action once I got it working properly

I'm still new to APIs so I was pretty proud of this one!

A Script to Allow a User to Subscribe to Multiple Subreddits from a List

3 Upvotes

I am looking for a script or bot to allow a user to subscribe to multiple subreddits from a list. I have an account subscribed to roughly 3000 subreddits and I would like to make an alternate account that has the same subscriptions. I searched this subreddit for any previous requests and nothing seemed to match my requirement.

Baby's First Bot- The IT Crowd. Fairly proud of this.

3 Upvotes

I thought I'd try my hand at making a bot that responds with the follow-up to an IT Crowd reference. It responds to "Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" and "What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?".

What do you think?

I want a bot thingy?

I would like a bot of my own and if anyone could give me the code for a simple one (i.e. If find x word, post x reply) I would appreciate it. Or if you could point me in the direction of how to make or get one I would appreciate it!

I've created a dev tracker.

2 Upvotes

I've created a dev tracker on Reddit. The deployment is easy and can be done in under 5 minutes.
GitHub repo: https://github.com/NNTin/dev-tracker-reddit
Deployment on Heroku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03nSVgs6GXw

The project is licensed under the MIT License. You can modify the code as you see fit.

Idea was inspired by: /r/fortnite/user/homebasebot/comments/
Example comment: /r/FORTnITE/comments/91mlo1/birthday_llama_hotfix/e2z5i50/

There is also: /r/fortnitebr/user/BattleBusBot/comments/

Both accounts are 10 days old.

Their code hasn't been released yet. So I wrote this myself. The idea of this bot is not novel. Today I discoered that /r/2007scape already has: /r/2007scape/user/JMOD_Bloodhound (3 months old, GitHub repo: https://github.com/Floogen/JMOD_Bloodhound written in powershell)

My bot is written in Python with a very easy Heroku deployment process. You can customize the intro message but you are also free to modify the outtro message by touching the code directly.

It's a bot that highlights comments of certain people in a separate comment. It has the entire quote as well as a link to the comment. In /r/fortnite and /r/fortnitebr it is a great addition. In /r/2007scape it is also nice because Jagex moderators have a tendency to say things that go against the community. That way the community has an easy way of finding dev posts.

Sadly I haven't found a subreddit to run my bot in yet. If you are aware of any community this bot might fit in please make a suggestion. However since I am not so involved with the community I will need a list of reddit names of the important community figures.

[Request] Writing a script/bot to save images from reddit automatically into different folders

2 Upvotes

I've been looking for a bot/script that helps me solve a very particular problem but I dont know where to start. Here's what I want to do:

Let's say I've saved a bunch of photos on my reddit profile. I want a bot/script to sort them out and save them automatically, each one to a different folder on my PC according to their name (the folder's name and post's name must match).

Example: On my HDD, in a specific location I've got a bunch of folders like:

  • C:\Saved\Drawings\Comics

  • C:\Saved\Drawings\Web

  • C:\Saved\Pics\Nature

  • C:\Saved\Pics\Space

If a post is called "Comics", the script/bot searches C:\Saved for a folder called "Comics" and saves the picture there. Is it possible to create a script using reddit's API that's capable of doing this? Can anyone point me into the right direction? Thanks!

[QUESTION] Is there a way to put a real-time word cloud in a sub's side-bar?

2 Upvotes

I've done a search in this sub, but have only found this post from last year. I think it might be the start of a solution but I'm looking for a specific end result.

What I'd like to do is have a word cloud in a subreddit sidebar that's genned real-time from the sub's content for the previous, say, 6 months or a year.

The cloud would be genned from post titles and maybe the post content as well. Comments would not be analyzed, just the OPs.

Is there anything like this already out there? Thanks
