General package for reddit comments analysis, data manipulation, and other areas

## Install Instructions ` pip install . `

## How to Use Required: - Reddit Client ID - Reddit Client Secret - Reddit User Agent - Subreddit - List of Thread IDs for bulk extract of multiple Reddit threads - Dictionary (Should match your regex search pattern, otherwise your headers will not match the data retrieved, for example: a defined copy/paste form for a reddit thread that users reply to, aka “Megathreads”) - Regex Pattern (for csv)

Extracting all comments for list of threads to csv with defined headers and search pattern: ` import reddit_extract reddit_extract.extract_comments_csv_bulk(<Reddit ClientID>, <Reddit ClientSecret>, <Reddit User Agent>, <Subreddit>, <Thread IDs>, <Dictionary Headers>) `

Extracting all comments for list of threads to txt: ` import reddit_extract reddit_extract.extract_comments_txt_bulk(<Reddit ClientID>, <Reddit ClientSecret>, <Reddit User Agent>, <Subreddit>, <Thread IDs>) `

Example: ` import reddit_extract threads = ['aw79c5', 'b7x7n1', 'am5uk7', 'bji681', 'abv2gl', '9klf8e'] search_pattern = r'Form: (.*)\n*Entity: (.*)\n*Pending: (.*)\n*Approved: (.*)\n*Standardized wait: (.*)\n*STATE: (.*)' headers = {'Form': 'Form', 'Entity': 'Entity', 'Pending': 'Pending', 'Approved': 'Approved', 'Standardized Wait': 'Standardized Wait', 'STATE': 'STATE'} reddit_extract.extract_comments_csv_bulk(<client_id>, <client_secret>, <user_agent>, 'nfa', threads, headers, search_pattern) `

## Tests ` python setup.py test `
