Ask HN: Scraping Reddit in python

Why do you want to scrape reddit?

If you want comments and posts, they are already shared.

For example, in BigQuery:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bigquery/comments/3cej2b/17_billion...

read the api documentation for reddit, follow the rules, use python+praw to make requests. Writing a script with BeautifulSoup or similar seems like a headache.

You write a scrapper, you could use python. Beautiful Soup might be useful.
