🔍 Reddit Network Explorer 🔍

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.

📚 Data model

🖥️ 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.
