Title: I'm looking to pull all of the post titles from a specific subreddit since Jan 1, 2021 using Reddit ExtractoR. I can't figure out how to direct the function to only look at post titles and not pull in any comments. I've posted the current version of my code below:
reddit_test <- get_reddit(search_terms = NA, regex_filter = "", subreddit = "subreddit_name",
cn_threshold = 1, page_threshold = 12000, sort_by = "new",
wait_time = 2)
It seems the get_reddit() function always returns comments.
Looking at the github https://github.com/ivan-rivera/RedditExtractoR
The reddit_urls() function will return fewer attributes, and title is one of them:
> reddit_links <- reddit_urls( search_terms = "cute_cats", page_threshold = 1 )
>
>
> str(reddit_links) 'data.frame': 25 obs. of 5 variables:
> $ date : chr "05-02-15" "24-02-14" "03-09-13" "20-05-14" ...
> $ num_comments: num 214 26 221 36 44 41 93 199 20 175 ...
> $ title : chr "My brother's cat is insanely cute!" "...
> $ subreddit : chr "cats" "cats" "cats" "cats" ...
> $ URL : chr "http://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/2uv9q5/my_brothers_cat_is_insanely_cute/?ref=search_posts" ...
