Inspiration
Managing or interacting with a vast community like reddit often requires a quick way to understand a user's history and activity. I was inspired to build this tool because i noticed there wasn't a simple, centralized way for moderators or curious users to get a quick "snap shot" of a total.
What it does
The reddit username lookup website is a streamlined web application that allows users to enter any reddit username and instantly retrieve their public profile data.
How we built it
Fronted:HTML5,CSS3 and JS Backend: PRAW Hosting: Github & Netlify- souptikinfoosint.netlify.app
Challenges we ran into
The biggest technical hurdle was handling reddit's API rate limits.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am proud of creating a tool that provides near-instant results. Successfully integrating the reddit api key and building a functional,real world application within the hackathon.
What we learned
This project taught me a lot about rest apis and asynchronous in programing js/python.
