Extracting Reddit Data to Airtable Using Byteline’s No-Code Platform

Introduction

In the world of information exchange, nerds and nitwits love Reddit alike. The popularity of Reddit is not only because of being an infinite source of user-generated content for pretty much every field of human knowledge but also for the fact that Reddit manages spam, unlike any other social media channels.

The prominence of Reddit is apparent with its sheer number of users who not only access informative content by visiting the site but also extract that info to be used with another source. To do so, Reddit offers an API that can be used to pull subreddit data of posts, comments, media, and votes. Though it sounds like a great idea, often there are challenges to convert the API skeleton into a full-fledged data churning machine. This is usually because using the Reddit API requires decent technical development skills before actually starting to use it for data extraction.
