/u/RiskyClickerBot for Reddit
A quick rundown of what the bot does is here.
A more in-depth version, with a few code snippets is also available.
git clone https://github.com/SreenivasVRao/RiskyClickerBot.git
cd RiskyClickerBot
pip install -r requirements.txt
You will need to edit vars.sh to set the various environment variables. These values are retrieved by creating API keys.
For Reddit - go here. This tutorial is a great start.
For Imgur - Follow this video - between the 4:00 and 6:00 minute marks, the video explains how to get the client id and secret which is all you need.
For Clarifai - This article will help. I have set the scope to 'all' for my API key, although it can probably work with just the prediction scope.
Once you have the keys ready in vars.sh:
. vars.sh
will load the variables in your current shell
Following that, you need to launch the bot:
python bot.py
Running the bot on Heroku is possible by using the --heroku switch. However, Reddit usually frowns on duplicate bots. On the other hand, I'll gladly take pull requests for this bot. :)
