memgraph/reddit-network-explorer
A graph-powered Reddit explorer that can perform real-time graph visualizations and sentiment analysis.
๐ Reddit Network Explorer ๐
The Reddit Network Explorer is a web application that lets you visualize a
subreddit in real-time as well as perform sentiment analysis and different
network analysis algorithms.
Note
We no longer host the Reddit Network Explorer app on reddit.memgraph.com. You can still check out this project to learn how to build an app with Memgraph.
๐ Data model
๐ฅ๏ธ Run the app locally
The simplest way of running the app locally is by using Docker
Compose. Just run the following
commands in the root directory:
docker-compose build
docker-compose up backend-app
docker-compose up frontend-app
docker-compose up reddit-stream
Make sure to set up a Reddit account and go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps in order to create an app so you can
get the client_id and client_secret.
You will need those to set up the Reddit stream in reddit-stream/app.py (line 106-109):
reddit = praw.Reddit(
client_id="***REMOVED***",
client_secret="***REMOVED***",
user_agent="graph-demo data fetcher")The app will need to run a while to populate with comments and users,
so make sure to keep it running for 10-15 minutes to see some data flowing in.
