Automate Reddit Comment & Reply Collection with Screenshots
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I want a Python-based solution that can pull every reply ever posted by a single Reddit account, capture a screenshot of each thread for context, and lay everything out in my Word template automatically. The flow I picture is:
• Authenticate through Reddit’s API (PRAW or a comparable wrapper).
• Traverse the user’s full comment history, expanding threads so nested replies appear in the screenshot.
• Use a headless browser (Selenium, Playwright, or similar) to take a clean screenshot of the visible thread around each comment.
• Insert the raw text and its corresponding screenshot into a .docx file, preserving the sequence chronologically and following the formatting style I will supply after we start.
• Save the finished document locally and send to me.
