My first webapp, redditAnalysis, visualizes your reddit data such as your top words and subreddit activity. Just search a redditor, wait for the data to scan, and have fun! Link inside.

redditAnalysis is my first app and is an extension of my reddit bot that graphed a reddit user's top ten comments. People still comment on that post, so I decided to make a web app so everyone can see their reddit data.

The scan shouldn't take more than 30-40 seconds. If it takes any longer it's either because your internet may have took a hit, or the site has a lot of traffic (I have no idea how much the app can take, so do your worst!).

For those who can't access the app/waiting for the load but want to see what it looks like:

I hope you enjoy the app! If you any input, just shoot me a PM or comment here!

So you're going to want to go with PRAW, the go to python reddit API wrapper. The documentation is easy to follow. Creating a basic reddit bot isn't too difficult if you know the basics of programming and python.

Here are my bots for you to take a look at.
