RedditVoteBot

RedditVoteBot is a Python script that can be used to automatically upvote or downvote all comments made by a specific Reddit user.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper)
• Reddit account with a registered application and OAuth2 credentials

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository or download the script RedditVoteBot.py.
2. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Register a Reddit application and obtain OAuth2 credentials by following the instructions here.
4. Set the following environment variables in .env with your Reddit OAuth2 credentials:
   • PRAW_CLIENT_ID: your client ID
   • PRAW_CLIENT_SECRET: your client secret
   • PRAW_USER_AGENT: a descriptive user agent string
   • PRAW_USERNAME: your Reddit username
   • PRAW_PASSWORD: your Reddit password
5. Run the script from the command line: python3 RedditVoteBot.py.

Usage

When you run the script, you will be prompted to enter the username of the target Reddit user, whether you want to upvote or downvote their comments, and whether you want the bot to run continuously. The script will then automatically upvote or downvote all comments made by the target user. The script will print the permalink of each comment that is voted on.

Example usage:

Would you like to (U)pvote or (D)ownvote the target? (U|D). D
Would you like the bot to run continuously? (Y|N) Y
Beginning to downvote. The permalink to the comment will be printed when a comment is downvoted.
