Reddit
==========
Connect Reddit to your preprocessing pipeline, and batch process all your documents using ``unstructured-ingest`` to store structured outputs locally on your filesystem.

First you'll need to install the Reddit dependencies as shown here.

.. code:: shell

  pip install "unstructured[reddit]"

Run Locally

   .. tab:: Shell

      .. code:: shell

        unstructured-ingest \
          reddit \
          --subreddit-name machinelearning \
          --client-id "<client id here>" \
          --client-secret "<client secret here>" \
          --user-agent "Unstructured Ingest Subreddit fetcher by \u\..." \
          --search-query "Unstructured" \
          --num-posts 10 \
          --output-dir reddit-ingest-output \
          --num-processes 2 \
          --verbose

   .. tab:: Python

      .. code:: python

        import os

        from unstructured.ingest.interfaces import PartitionConfig, ProcessorConfig, ReadConfig
        from unstructured.ingest.runner import RedditRunner

        if __name__ == "__main__":
            runner = RedditRunner(
                processor_config=ProcessorConfig(
                    verbose=True,
                    output_dir="reddit-ingest-output",
                    num_processes=2,
                ),
                read_config=ReadConfig(),
                partition_config=PartitionConfig(),
            )
            runner.run(
                subreddit_name="machinelearning",
                client_id="<client id here>",
                client_secret="<client secret here>",
                user_agent=r"Unstructured Ingest Subreddit fetcher by \\u\...",
                search_query="Unstructured",
                num_posts=10,
            )

Run via the API
---------------

You can also use upstream connectors with the ``unstructured`` API. For this you'll need to use the ``--partition-by-api`` flag and pass in your API key with ``--api-key``.

.. tabs::

   .. tab:: Shell

      .. code:: shell

        unstructured-ingest \
          reddit \
          --subreddit-name machinelearning \
          --client-id "<client id here>" \
          --client-secret "<client secret here>" \
          --user-agent "Unstructured Ingest Subreddit fetcher by \u\..." \
          --search-query "Unstructured" \
          --num-posts 10 \
          --output-dir reddit-ingest-output \
          --num-processes 2 \
          --verbose \
          --partition-by-api \
          --api-key "<UNSTRUCTURED-API-KEY>"

   .. tab:: Python

      .. code:: python

        import os

        from unstructured.ingest.interfaces import PartitionConfig, ProcessorConfig, ReadConfig
        from unstructured.ingest.runner import RedditRunner

        if __name__ == "__main__":
            runner = RedditRunner(
                processor_config=ProcessorConfig(
                    verbose=True,
                    output_dir="reddit-ingest-output",
                    num_processes=2,
                ),
                read_config=ReadConfig(),
                partition_config=PartitionConfig(
                    partition_by_api=True,
                    api_key=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY"),
                ),
            )
            runner.run(
                subreddit_name="machinelearning",
                client_id="<client id here>",
                client_secret="<client secret here>",
                user_agent=r"Unstructured Ingest Subreddit fetcher by \\u\...",
                search_query="Unstructured",
                num_posts=10,
            )

Additionally, you will need to pass the ``--partition-endpoint`` if you're running the API locally. You can find more information about the ``unstructured`` API `here <https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured-api>`_.

For a full list of the options the CLI accepts check ``unstructured-ingest reddit --help``.

NOTE: Keep in mind that you will need to have all the appropriate extras and dependencies for the file types of the documents contained in your data storage platform if you're running this locally. You can find more information about this in the `installation guide <https://unstructured-io.github.io/unstructured/installing.html>`_.
