A configurable reddit bot that will notify you through email if a submission matches with keywords you specified .

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/abirafdirp/reddit-notifier

Install the requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run it

python run.py

Below are the configurations that you need to specified in the settings.py

Currently this script only support string attributes, you can find the list of them in the valid_attribute.txt

Below is an example if you want to match submissions in 'gamedeals' subreddit which has 'free' and 'giveaway' in its title OR 'giveaway' in its selftext. You can also add another keywords for another subreddit in it.

KEYWORDS = {'gamedeals': {
                         'title': ['free', 'giveaway'],
                         'selftext': ['giveaway']
                         },
            'netsec': {
                      'title': ['exploit', 'backdoor', 'hacked', 'vulnerabilities', 'bug']
                      }
            }

EXCLUDE is sometimes useful e.g. a free game notifier script that has free in its keywords will catch "DRM free" submission, we don't want that, so we include 'drm' in EXCLUDE. The structure of exclude is same as KEYWORDS. Note that EXCLUDE IS OPTIONAL (currently you need to give it an empty dict).

Below is an example of a free game notifier bot that will exclude any submission if it has 'drm' in its title or its selftext

EXCLUDE = {'gamedeals': {
                        'title': ['drm']},
                        'selftext': ['drm']}
		  }

• added attribute based keywords

• notify you through email if a submission title match your keywords

• add more valid attributes

• add comment parsing functionality

• more verbose error handling

• match other attribute other than title (configurable)
