Request and fulfill reddit bots.

This subreddit is for requesting custom reddit bots.

 

[!] Please be careful about running software you receive from strangers. NEVER run exe files. ALWAYS ask for the source code. If you're not 100% confident in the safety of a script, feel free to ask for help and use the "Critique" link flair.

 


Rules

1) Bots should be helpful and/or provide value to the community. Do not request bots that will spam.

This includes:

  • Unhelpful responses or punchlines based on keywords

  • Performing menial tasks (Unit conversion, spelling/grammar checking)

Exceptions to this rule may be made, especially if you're requesting a bot for a subreddit you moderate.

 

2) Do not request bots that vote for you.

Note: votes must be cast by humans. That is, API clients proxying a human's action one-for-one are OK, but bots deciding how to vote on content or amplifying a human's vote are not.

www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_vote

 

3) Do not request bots that will harass other users or subreddits.

 

4) If your bot is for a specific subreddit, get permission from the moderators of that subreddit first.

Some communities are more strict about bots, and they may ban your bot if you don't talk to them first.

 

5) Unless the requester specifically offers payment, don't expect any.

 

And please read reddit site-wide rules.

Looking for a bot that can increment a score (and sometimes user flair) for each user when applying a post flair to their post.

Here's more of the idea over on this thread.

I want it to increment and remember a score when a mod applies a specific post flair to the user's post. Also would like it to trigger an automatic message that gets stickied to their post.

And then once a user reaches a certain amount of score, they get automatically assigned a user flair based on their score.

I'm not that familiar with bots, so I also need to know: is this idea feasible or realistic? And if it is, can someone make it for me?

This is for a large subreddit as well (r/hiphop101).

Bot that mass-changes post flair?

Hello! I came here after reading this post, specifically referring to the "Can I mass update post flairs?" question.

I mod a music subreddit (r/blackgaze) and we use flair to label each post; a common flair is "New Song" or "New Album". I'm looking for a way to mass-update flair. Example: for posts older than a year, I'd like a bot or script that will change the flair from "New Album" to "Full Album" so that it's more accurate to people filtering posts by flair.

I was previously doing this change manually, but the sub has gotten more popular over the years and it looks like reddit just made an update to the page design and it eventually stops loading once I scroll down to posts about 2 months old.

Maybe this is more of an API thing? I'm not super technical, so I don't know what would be the best way to go about this. If this is something that could potentially "break" the sub, I'd rather leave it as-is. I appreciate any help or insight provided!

Bot that deletes designated flair posts based on Day of the Week, and controls the sub's description based on Day of the Week

If this exists already, please let me know.

I should be able to control timezone relative to Day of the Week.

Is there a way to have a bot post a screenshot of a tweet in the comment section?

I'd like to find a way to have a bot post a screenshot of a tweet that a user links in their post.

So say a user posts a direct link to a tweet, the bot takes a screenshot of the tweet and stickies the comment with the screenshot in the comments. This way if users don't have twitter or they don't want to open a twitter link, the screenshot is available to them.

WTB Automatic Reply Bot for Messages

Hello,

I have another account on reddit that I use to promote my social media, but a lot of people, instead of going to the links, come into my DMs and text me there. I would like an easy way not to block them from messaging me, but to funnel them into the link that would be included in the message. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Hello - Looking to incorporate a bot into my community so it can auto flare/ prompt users

Also, if it could automatically post a couple times a day with a set image & script I can organise via a google sheet maybe, that would be great. I can likely write it in python with gpt right? I just don't understand how i would embed the bot into the sub?

Can the same bot work in multiple subs, not incorporated one before.

Bot that can limit the how often a user can comment on a post (5 comments/10 minutes)

Aka: "Your comment has been removed as you've commented too many times times in a row. Please wait ten minutes before commenting again."

I want the comment limit to be along the lines of no more than 5 times within the span of 10 minutes. Or if the cool down period isn't achievable, something like the ability to just automatically filter/remove comments when someone has commented too many times in a row? Thanks so much for your help!

(If there is way to set it up in auto mod please let me know!)

How not to get your bot account banned?

Hi all! I hope it's okay to post here my question. I am new to python and programming but trying to make a bot which responds to certain specific but common (on given subreddit) questions in a given subreddit and makes answer to summon if a Redditor thinks bot has the answer. Subreddit crowd getting tired of these questions with the answer already given and easily available even on the sub pinned post. It's about recommending government bond issued for natural persons for savings when someone asks for ideas to put his monthly little saving to somewhere safe and my bot even scrapes yields and provides every needed information about these securities.
I was trying out the summon and formatting on r/testingground4bots when bot account got suspended. How should I make sure I have a learning space with my bot? I have seen others doing multiple posts on that subreddit too so I though open sandbox meant I can do as many post and comment to try out my code as I want.
I tried appeal but if it's or isn't successful I want to avoid further problems while I try to make my code. What do you suggest I do to avoid such bans/suspendings? I tried to make another account today after yesterday failure and i gave my username in the about page and in prefs/apps did not even run a single script, just wanted to give a heads up to my mates in given subbredit, that i am doing this and if they like the idea upvote and contact me for further upgrades. But. As i posted my comment (just as i write this), my new account was insta banned... What am i doing wrong?

Looking for bots to be made to offer to any cat sub that wants them to answer some very common posts.

Often, cat subs will get questions asking what breed their cat is, how long it will take for their rescue to grow used to their new home, or about cat behaviors. I'd like to get some bots made to offer to these subs that auto-reply with some very common images that people respond with and then mention they'd really like it if a bot would do it for them.

The bottom of this post has three links to comments with the images in question (I use mobile and couldn't figure out how to get the image without the comment, I have zero experience coding, which is why I'm here).

The first link is to an image about cat breeds. I'd like the bot to automatically respond to posts asking questions along the lines of what breed their cat is.

The second link is to an image about how long it takes rescues to get used to their new homes. I'd like this bot to reply to posts asking about rescue behavior.

The third like is to an image about cat behavior. I would like it to go up with posts asking about cat behavior, but also would like it to go up with the second link on those posts.

These links are to comments with the images I'd like to use in these bots:

Looking for a bot that can mass unlock all past posts

Hi, so I moderate an R4R subreddit, and since the last few years, we have automatically locked posts so people wouldn't be able to comment. However, we are about to lift that rule and allow people to comment again on posts. So all new posts will be unlocked. But is it possible to have a reddit bot that can go back and retroactively mass unlock all the posts that are locked? Because I know automod only works on new posts, after a rule change. It's not a huge deal if this isn't possible, but just curious. Thanks

Request for a Bot to Identify Active Users Across Specific Subreddits for Private Investigation

Hi,
I'm reaching out in hopes of finding someone who can assist in developing a bot with a specific set of functionalities aimed at identifying Reddit users who are active in certain subreddits. This request forms part of a private investigation and might reveal crucial details related to it.
What I'm Looking For:
Functionality: A bot capable of scanning through chosen subreddits (for example, r./EXAMPLESUB1, r./EXAMPLESUB2, r./EXAMPLESUB3) to generate a list of users who have made posts in all three. The ability to modify the target subreddits as needed is essential.
Output: A compilation of Reddit usernames that have posted in each of the specified subreddits, meeting the criteria of being active in those communities.
Additional Features: (Optional) If possible, I'd appreciate any basic analytics regarding these users' posting habits within those subreddits, such as post counts.
Context and Use Case:
The purpose behind this bot is tied to a private investigation, aiming to uncover overlapping user engagement within specific subreddit communities. I have no experience with Python or bot development, so I'm seeking expertise in this area to create a tool that could be pivotal for my investigation.
Important Considerations:
Privacy and Ethics: It's key that the development and operation of this bot adhere to Reddit's API usage policies and terms of service. Ensuring the privacy and ethical treatment of user data is crucial here, given the sensitive nature of this investigation.
API Limitations: Given my lack of familiarity with Python and Reddit's API, guidance on how to approach potential limitations or restrictions with the API while meeting the project's objectives would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am not registered as a developer, so I'm not sure I can access Reddit's API at all. This might be an issue. If it is, I am curious about the feasibility of a web scraping tool that uses HTML in Google results to pull username lists.
I understand the sensitivity and complexity of this request and am looking for someone who can navigate these challenges responsibly and effectively. If you're interested in contributing to this project or have insights that could guide its development, please reach out.
Your expertise and assistance could be incredibly valuable for this investigation. Thank you for considering this request and for any support or advice you can offer.

I made a bot with moderators' approval and it got suspended

I made a bot for r/Anki. It searches for posts with the "Question" flair and with some keywords and replies to those posts. I talked to the moderators, and one of them, u/Glutanimate, added the bot as an approved user of r/Anki, hoping that it would prevent it from getting banned. It didn't. My bot made one comment and got suspended immediately. I sent an appeal and got no response.

I want to ask bot-making experts (I'm a noob) what could be done in this situation. I don't think the moderators of r/Anki can do much, aside from adding the bot as an approved user, which clearly doesn't help here. I also don't know why the bot was suspended after making a single comment. I've read somewhere that bots that post links using the API are almost guaranteed to get suspended. In any case, any advice on how to make a bot that can reply to certain posts based on the combination of flair and keywords without getting suspended is welcome.

Looking for a bot that can be used to only keep up posts with certain flairs during specific days of the month

Hello, I moderate a sub that has two periods of two days each month where only certain types of posts are allowed (which have distinct flairs). Is there a bot that could be easily used to remove any posts that do not have those flairs during these periods? (or that can be used to remove posts with other flairs as all posts on the sub require a flair)

Looking for a bot that can respond to modmail

I’ve scraped through Google and this sub quite a bit but was unable to find anything reliable. I mod r/ASUS and get several modmails a week asking me for tech support, asking me to check RMA statuses, verifying serial numbers, etc.

I don’t work for ASUS lol but so many people don’t realize that apparently. I’ve made a pinned post about it in the past but it did nothing because, as we know, people don’t really read that stuff.

I’m just looking to see if there’s any bot out there that can automatically respond to modmail with a generic response. I would have it say something like:

Hello! If this is regarding product support, please be aware that our moderators do not work for ASUS and you will not receive a response. Otherwise we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Being able to seek out keywords is preferable but definitely not required.

A bot to find inactive subreddits I'm subscribed to

Not sure if this already exists or if its possible, but i'd like a bot that when given a username, can output all the subreddits the user is subscribed to that are inactive (no recent posts), banned (do those still show up in the list?), etc. I want to cull my subscribed sub list but I'm in nearly 5k of them and going through manually is nearly impossible.

Is there a bot that can track, record and take appropriate action after mods remove content?

I've been poundering about a system where moderators don't need to resort to banning users. Instead, they can simply remove offending posts or comments, and a bot can then handle the enforcement of rule violations. For instance, if User 1 breaks the rules, a mod can remove the content, and the bot will track, record, and send a notification to the offender. Additionally, the bot can be programmed to administer punishments as needed. Is there a feasible way to achieve this?

Redirect someone who posts about dating rejection or disappointment to positive advice / resources

Is it possible for a bot to redirect someone who posts about dating rejection or disappointment to external resources or posts, wiki's with useful advice or simple tips? For example, if they feel mad = go for a run, feel disappointed = call a friend and talk to them for 5 minutes.
