place-scraper

This is a repository that hosts the scraper of the r/place canvas, utilized for The 2023 r/place Atlas.

This is based upon https://github.com/ProstoSanja/place-2022, adapted to output images to be used on the Atlas.

The scraper results are uploaded on https://archive.org/details/place-atlas-2023-scraped-canvas. Keep in mind that the script is continuously adjusted until images5, which is the state of the code that is uploaded in this repository.

Usage

  1. Install Python (recommended: 3.10) and all the required dependencies.

    pip install -r scraper/requirements.txt

  2. Edit authparams.py with your Reddit accounts credentials and the application credentials of the type script.

    USERNAME=""      # Account username
PASSWORD=""      # Account password
OAUTH_CLIENT=""  # Application client ID (below "personal  use script")
OAUTH_SECRET=""  # Application secret
AUTH_TOKEN=""    # For manual overrides, may be left empty

  3. If needed, configure fetch interval inside the script.

  4. Run scraper/scraper.py

    python scraper/scraper.py
