This repo contains a python application which will:
- download and parse content from a Google Spreadsheet
- extract a column of Reddit post URLs from that spreadsheet
- connect to the Reddit API and retrieve (top-level) comments for each post
- pass those comments through two different sentiment-analysis models
- output the assembled comments and sentiment scores to a new CSV file
Reddit API credentials are required: get them here (use the "create another app" button at the bottom).
- Clone this repo
- Make sure pipenv is installed (
pip install pipenv) pipenv installpipenv run python fetch_and_parse_reddit_comments.py --client-id <client_id> --client-secret <client_secret>
To use a local CSV file instead of a remote Google Sheet toggle these lines
The SHEET_ID/INPUT_FILE and OUTPUT_FILE are hardcoded at the top of the script.
There is also a Google Colab notebook that runs this code: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16egGLoL3_I308sxRdpoKkZjk9x1FZvXZ
The notebook will source this module directly from GitHub and bootstrap pipenv to install the dependencies, which is kinda interesting in its own right.
