Reddit Scraper

A web scraper that extracts posts from Reddit and stores the title and description of each post in a separate file. Great tool to use if you need Reddit's data in CSV format on your next project!

How I built it

This scraper was built with Node.js JavaScript Starter Kit. Source: https://hack.mlh.io/learn/

Getting started

Run the following command

$ node app/controllers/index.js

A post.csv file will be generated in the app folder.

What I learned

I learned about the common issues faced when scraping from a website, such as having to deal with dynamic websites that have infinite scrolling.
