Useful Apps/Scripts¶

Here are some scripts that people have contributed so far. Feel free to edit this page to add in more.

PRAWtools by BBoe: A collection of tools that utilize PRAW. Two current tools are modutils a program useful to subreddit moderators, and subreddit_stats, a tool to compute submission / comment statistics for a subreddit.
AutoModerator by Deimos: A bot for automating straightforward reddit moderation tasks and improving upon the existing spam-filter.
r.doqdoq: A website that displays reddit stories under the guise of Python or Java code.
reddit Notifier for Gnome3: Integrates with Unity and Gnome Shell to display new reddit mail as it arrives.
Link Unscripter: A bot for replying to posts <and comments, eventually> that contain javascript-required links to provide non-javascript alternatives.
ClockStalker: Examines a redditor’s posting history and creates a comment with a nice activity overview. ClockStalker uses an older version of PRAW, the reddit, module. It should, but may not, work with the latest version of PRAW.
Butcher bot by u/xiphirx: Handles routine tasks on r/Diablo such as the removal of images/memes and bandwagon-esque titles.
r/diablo flair infographic generator by u/xiphirx: Creates beautiful infographics.
Groompbot by u/AndrewNeo: Posts new videos from YouTube to a subreddit.
newsfrbot by u/keepthepace: Parses RSS feeds from some major french publications and posts them to relevant subreddits.
reddit-modbot: A relatively lightweight script for automating reddit moderating tasks. It was written as a simpler alternative to AutoModerator by Deimos.
reddit-giveaway-bot: A bot that automatically manages giveaway. One feature gives out product keys to the first N commenters.
DailyProgBot: A simple challenge-queue submission bot for r/DailyProgrammer. Users submit challenges through a Google Documents form, then the bot crawls said form, posting the appropriate challenge on the appropriate day of the week.
DailyPromptBot: The management bot for the r/TheDailyPrompt reddit community. Main functions include managing a queue of prompts, posting prompts daily, and posting suggestion threads weekly.
VideoLinkBot by u/shaggorama: A bot that aggregates video links in a response comment where multiple videos links appear in reply to a submission (uses a slightly out-of-date version of PRAW, currently requires Submission.all_comments_flat).
reddit-analysis by u/rhiever: Scrapes a specific subreddit or user and prints out all of the commonly-used words in the past month. Contains a data file containing a list of words that should be considered common.
AlienFeed by u/Jawerty: AlienFeed is a command line application made for displaying and interacting with reddit submissions. The client can return a list containing the top submissions in a subreddit, and even open the links up if you’d like.
ALTcointip by u/im14: ALTcointip bot allows Redditors to gift (tip) various cryptocoins (Litecoin, PPCoin, Namecoin, etc) to each other as a way of saying thanks.
RedditAgain by Karan Goel: Migrate an old Reddit account to a new one. Backs up existing content and submissions, and copies subscriptions to a new account.
reddit-cloud by Paul Nechifor: Generates word clouds for submissions (or users), posts them to Imgur and the URL to Reddit. It’s what I run on u/WordCloudBot2.
<Your Script Here>: Edit this page on github to add your script to this list.

Note: The following use very outdated versions of the API. Don’t expect them to work with the latest version.

comment tracker: Repeatedly looks at new reddit comments and can take an action if they meet a specified condition. The example use I gave is replying with an automated message if the body of a comment contains a certain word. <Novelty accounts, anyone?>
account cloner: Given two logins and passwords, it will transfer all of the saved links and subscribed subreddits from the first account to the second.
comment generator: Pulls comments from reddit, puts them in a Markov chain, and periodically outputs random statuses. The statuses can be viewed here.
