Overview of Reddit

  1. You could build a tool that monitors specific subreddits and notifies you
    when new posts match certain criteria.
  2. You could build a tool that analyzes the posts and comments in a given
    subreddit to generate statistics or visualizations about the topic.
  3. You could build a bot that automatically posts or comments in response to
    certain keywords or phrases.
  4. You could build a tool that helps manage your Reddit account by automating
    tasks like posting, messaging, or voting.
  5. You could build a tool that extracts data from Reddit posts and comments for
    use in other applications.

Building a Reddit Workflow with Pipedream
Building a Reddit Workflow with Pipedream
Almost four years ago I blogged about a demo I built using Reddit's API. The demo was a multi-user application that made use of Mongo for persistence and Passport.js for user authentication. You would login, select subreddit's to subscribe to, and then once a day it would email you the new posts from that subreddit. This was built in a "traditional" Node.js style with a server running full time to process requests. I thought it would be fun to build this again (although slightly different) using Pipedream's support for working with the Reddit API. I built two different versions of a simple workflow I'd like to share below.

Updating my Reddit Workflow with Pipedream
Back almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about using Pipedream to build a Reddit email report. The idea was that I wanted a daily email of posts from my subscribed subreddits for the past 24 hours of content. The implementation was a bit complex. I used one workflow to handle "get a days worth of content from subreddit" as a general "API" and another workflow connected to my authentication. It handles getting my subscriptions, hitting the API, and then generating the email. This worked well, but after a while of actually getting the email, I noticed some problems. So I decided to fix that.
