Depreciated Project

Reddit no longer uses cloudsearch.

Reddit Firstposts

The webapp uses reddit's cloudsearch syntax to find the first posts on a specific subreddit. The script automates the process outlined here.

Installation

Clone Repository

git clone git@github.com:gusberinger/firstposts.git && cd firstposts

Create a Virtual Environment (Recommended)

virtualenv --python=/usr/local/bin/python3.6 env
source env/bin/activate

Install required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Fill out credentials

I don't want to give away my own reddit credentials so I gitignore it.

cp config.yml.example config.yml

Setup an app in reddit's preferences page. Then fill out config.yml completely. A better guide for Reddit's OAuth is available here if you are confused.

Run Flask

python app.py
