This is a simple Node based Reddit scraper for finding which stocks are getting the most mentions. As of Mar 2, 2021, this project uses only the following packages:
- Cheerio (for the scraping)
- ESLint (to enforce code quality)
- ESM (to allow the use of import instead of require)
- Node-Fetch (for fetching the data)
- Prompt (to get user input for custom/dynamic results)
Make sure you have Node.js installed first.
npm install
npm run scrape
Then simply enter in the subreddit name you wish to scrape (case sensitive), and the number of results you want.
And that's it!
