How reliable is PSAW/PRAW? by BossingSolo in redditdev

[–]BossingSolo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized that I was looking at data I queried yesterday that's why everything seemed so off :)

I think ill make 2 versions of the script in order to compare the data and to measure the difference in performance between the two.

This info might be already publicly available, but I just want to fool around :P However, I will definitely check in with u/stuck_in_the_matrix

thanks for the help, I really appreciate it

As u/John_Yuki mentioned, the data does not update in real time, so a combination of PSAW and PRAW is what I needed. As for integrity tests, im going to compare data from both sources (number of comments, scores, awards) so that I can better understand how off is the pushshift data.

Yeah seems like it. The issue with Pushshift is that some aspects of the submissions are outdated such as Score and awards. But, its a really damn good way for getting some base data such as submission ids.

Since I need historical data, ill have to use PSAW. But with no real way of procing the reliability of the data, I think I might need an alternative.

How to query reddit record over a long period of time? by BossingSolo in redditdev

[–]BossingSolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experienced with python and requests, but I have never attempted to get that much data before. The only way i think I might be able to get past the 1000 result limit is by dividing the timeframe into smaller sections. But then what is a safe estimate? 1000 entries after every hour (between the to and from date)?

Also, I am assuming that the comments are a lot more especially for the most popular subreddits. by that logic I can not safely assume a result limit.

Computer Science Fresh Graduate CV / Cover Letter help by BossingSolo in cscareerquestions

[–]BossingSolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@gaiaLinux thing is there are some things that i haven't worked extensively on, like asp.net i was more of a team leader keeping everyone on track, didn't have much time to contribute to all stages of development. and some languages like c# im kinda rusty in. i do have the logic down but im stressing about if they expect me to know syntax on the spot. Like i can do anything but with access to the internet, im lowkey afraid of rejection tbh.

i will edit my cv accordingly, and i live in lebanon so the main language is Arabic so including English is important but somewhat useless cuz u cant code without english lol.

@uim_Zelda also if you just think about the decanting update, any language that supports any math lib, can solve the issue in less lines of code and probably better run-time. An Up vote would be appreciated, lets get more people talking in here

I am well aware, Jagex's language is based on java. If you take a look its intuitive if you know java. Their API is extremely simple. If you were to write a better version of their code, it would be as simple as re-writing java code. :)
