bottr
Bottr makes writing bots for reddit easy. It currently provides three predefined bots:
| CommentBot: | Listens to new comments in a list of subreddits |
|---|---|
| SubmissionBot: | Listens to new submission in a list of subreddits |
| MessageBot: | Listens to new messages of the inbox |
Bottr makes use of the Python Reddit API Wrapper PRAW.

Quick Start
The following is a quick example on how to monitor r/AskReddit for new comments. If a comment
contains the string 'banana', the bot replies 'This comment is bananas.'
import praw
import time
from bottr.bot import CommentBot
def parse_comment(comment):
"""Define what to do with a comment"""
if 'banana' in comment.body:
comment.reply('This comment is bananas.')
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Get reddit instance with login details
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='id',
client_secret='secret',
password='botpassword',
user_agent='Script by /u/...',
username='botname')
# Create Bot with methods to parse comments
bot = CommentBot(reddit=reddit,
func_comment=parse_comment,
subreddits=['AskReddit'])
# Start Bot
bot.start()
# Run bot for 10 minutes
time.sleep(10*60)
# Stop Bot
bot.stop()
