/r/RequestABot
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.
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.

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.
Also try:
/r/botwatch - Discuss bottiquette, ask questions, and share your latest bots.
/r/redditdev - Learn about the reddit API and its various wrappers. Admins often share API changes here.
/r/redditscripting - For sharing and discussing reddit scripts beyond bots.

I haven't been able to find much about how to do this, but it would be nice to have something like this for my sub.
Want to be able to see box score and updates during the game in the text body of the game thread.
Hey guys, I'm learning how to make a reddit bot. Now that I've created the first one for my reference, I want to implement it on a live subreddit. Let me know if you need my help in creating anything. This is a free service and I'm looking forward to working with reddit/discord/slack/telegram groups. Thank you for reading this.
Exactly as title suggests, I’d like a bot that will take posts from one subreddit and repost them on another, either automatically, or via tagging the bot on a comment on said post.
Bot That Can Connect To A Discord Bot, So If A Message Is Sent Via Discord, It Will Appear Via Reddit In Mod Mail, And When the User Replies, It Is Sent Through Discord,
Hello I was wondering if I wanted to make a bot on a reddit community that would provide flairs counts for whenever a transaction is complete, how would I go on doing that? I have no idea where to start. Thanks.
Just as the title suggests, I’d like a bot to automatically repost images from instagram accounts to a subreddit. For reasons I can’t really get into, a couple of my friends got relocated to countries were instagram is blocked but Reddit is not, so I’d like them to still be able to see their feeds.
To clarify, this would be my own personal subreddit, so this isn’t for karma purposes. Can anyone help me?
Tried asking over on r/modhelp and they recommended asking here...
Is there a way through AutoMod or DevApps (or a bot) to have a message sent to a user when they UNsubscribe?
I know we can set up the subscription message, but didn't know if the reverse was possible?
Context is that I'm a moderator on a new meme sub, r/LoveTrash, and I'm wondering if there's a way to gauge or ask members why they left? Was it content? Was it frequency of posts? Were they looking for something different? Did something offend them and they didn't know how to report it?
I know that someone might not answer, but didn't know if that type of message was possible to set up?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Redditors!
I’ve recently created a subreddit dedicated to sharing deals, coupons, and freebies in New Zealand, and I’m looking for help with automating some of the moderation tasks. Specifically, I want to set up a system where if a deal or coupon post has an expiration date, the post will automatically:
1. Lock the post once the expiration date is reached.
2. Change the flair to “Expired” (or something similar).
This would save a lot of manual effort and keep the subreddit clean and relevant for the community. I’m using Reddit as a mod and open to tools or bot suggestions that can handle this functionality.
If anyone has experience with automating subreddit actions based on dates or has suggestions for the best way to implement this, I’d love to hear your thoughts or recommendations!
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Hey all
So i have a sub which is about those applying to a nurse anesthesiology program (the graduate program) and those who are in one currently. There are a TUN of common questions which I would like to have a bot auto respond to based on keywords. Idea is that i create a script of answers that are called based on the key words or key phrases mentioned.
Is this a thing?
I'm entirely new to requesting a bot on Reddit, so I apologize if I'm not specific enough or if I'm not formatting this post entirely right.
I'm looking for a bot for my subreddit r/MilitaryModelMaking to implement some kind of reputation system. To encourage more members who might be actually lurking in the background. Who are just scrolling and voting. Not posting anything or commenting on anything. To actually be more active. Post more and comment.
I'm not entirely sure on how to actually go with this. I have some ideas. Using actual military ranks as userflair next to their name. A score system of numbers. Or maybe some kind of unique title or term to our community. But I'm not exactly sure about this. It might be open for discussion.
The bot should be looking at the number of posts a individual member has made on the community overview. And on how much a member has actually commented.
If possible, it should also be looking for the quality of the post or comment. How long is the comment actually? Does it contain usefull information or is it just something general and insignificant?
And I think that is probably it for the request. If I need to remove the mention of the sub, let me know and I will do so. But please, do not remove my post just so easily. I have spend nearly 30 minutes formatting this.
This thread gave me the idea of having a bot read the comments and turn it into something readable instead of scrolling through and seeing the same answer over and over. It should update fairly often, and would have the top 4 answers shown, with everything else shown as "Other". This could also be useful in subs like r/AITAH , where there are multiple responses that are voted upon, but no actual poll.
I wish to make a small subreddit for a friend that streams and wanted to implement a feature that would automatically send a msg there that she is streaming. If it was already done then just please point me in the right direction, thank you very much. If not and it is not too much trouble could I ask for someone to please make it? I have next to no knowledge on programming. Thank you so much.
Like top posts and comments, top poster and commenter, and things like that?
I've been doing research and I found that a bot that used to do this, but now it seems to be unable to provide those statistics due to changes in Pushshift.
I also found that there was a subreddit where these stats could be obtained, but it has been shut down. They posted the source code for the bot they use but I can't figure out how to use it.
Is there any other option for getting advanced statistics for a subreddit?
Hey everyone!
My friends and I are working on launching a new Reddit community that's a bit... unique. We're super excited about it, but we're running into a bit of a snag: we want to foster a really helpful and engaging community, and we think a bot like the one in could be a great way to incentivize contributions and reward active members.
The Idea: We envision a bot that awards points to users who provide helpful answers, share insightful information, or contribute to discussions in meaningful ways.
The Problem: We're completely new to Reddit bot development and coding in general. We're looking for some guidance on how to get started.
The Main Question(s): Are Reddit bots typically developed and managed by moderators, or is there a database of pre-existing bots that can be employed for specific community needs? Are there any existing bots specifically designed to track community engagement and award points that we could implement?
Like the title, I'd like to please request a bot that can auto-generate photos/quotes into our subreddit bio daily, from a "bank" of photos or quotes off-site.
For example, if I had a stock of quotes, the bot would be automated to retrieve a random quote and put the text into the community bio under “Random Quote of the Day”, or something like that. And the same way, for photos.
Hi! I've just started a subreddit to update users on the status of ao3 as shared by the Twitter account as not everyone can access Twitter to see this updates. I was doing this manually for people but I can miss things and not update accurately, so I want to have the updates be as accessible as possible. Is it possible to have a bot that will post what the tweet says to the subreddit whenever a tweet is made?
Thank you in advance 🫶
Need a bot to scrape stock market data
Hi,
I’ve seen this type of bot on a private subreddit once and I would like to have one for my sub. It’s basically a bot that can
I would like this bot to scrape data from tickers on the NASDAQ, S&P500 and the NYSE.
I’ve seen bots like this back in the day on r/investing iirc. The command was : how is the stock $AAPL doing?
It would then list something like this :
I have come here to provide information about the AAPL stock.
Stock Name: Apple Inc.
Day Low: $227.78.
Day High: $229.64.
Trading Volume: 41587094.
50 Day Average: $281.61237.
200 Day Average: $283.89764.
Company Industry: Consumer Electronics.
any help is appreciated thank you
I am a moderator for a subreddit that will be going private and requires users to go through a verification process. I have seen similar subreddits that do this which have a bot that responds to users who aren't approved when they create a post or a comment, letting them know they are not. I am new to moderating and haven't been able to figuere out how to do this by searching other subreddits yet. Thanks for any help you can provide!
I am looking for a bot or guidance for a bot similar to /r/hardwareswap where they have a Mega thread to post a trade information, and then person who traded with confirms the trade. According to this the flair of the trader updates.
Example thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/1eh3qyp/august_confirmed_trade_thread/
Example flair
Trades: 175
I would assume the the way it increments is reading the existing flair and updating it with a count.
Hello!
I mod r/merlinfic, a small subreddit that discusses/ recommends/ finds fanfiction for the show BBC Merlin, and I was hoping to request a bot that works a lot like the u/WhatIsThisBot, except for users finding those aforementioned fics, rather than identifying objects.
Our small subreddit has a culture of finding fanfictions easily and quickly for other people. We even have a tag system, where a post is labelled “Looking for fic” before it’s switched over to “Found: Looking for fic” when someone comments the answer for the OP. I noticed that this is similar to the fun in r/WhatIsThisThing + r/HelpMeFind, and since people have a lot of fun/competitive spirit to find fics asap, a bot like that could work on our subreddit too :))
For example: if the OP comments !Found/!Solved under the finder’s comment, the bot would calculate imaginary points for them. This could translate to special user flairs too, just for the fun of it.
It’s a niche ask, but our sub is just as small but homey, so I think this might be a bit of a reward (besides finding something for the OP) for the regulars who’ve been finding fics for years.
Thank you!
It seems like it can be done. I see some chatbots (e.g. trivia bots) in existence, so it's possible somehow (unless selenium?).
I can't find much about it. I saw some info saying it was a wrapper on SendBird, but now it appears to be Matrix under the scenes?
Mostly said everything in the title but any questions can be answered
Hello i need a reddit bot i need to add a bot to my community is there any way to create a bot?
I am making r/AskAkinator, but dont know how to make the bot for it. It needs to be a bot that automatically sets the first comment on a post with 10 likes as a flair, but the comment has to say "Yes, No, Don't Know, Probably, or Probably Not". Can someone help me on this?
Hello, I'm a bit new to this subreddit so tell me if I am doing anything wrong.
What I would like: I would like a bot that logs all moderator and automod actions and then send what they did to the modmail.
If you have any questions about what I am asking then comment them.
Thank you :)
Looking for a bot that can make high res images out of low resolution ones.
If possible, I’d like someone to make a bot that allows the mods of a sub to sticky more than 2 posts at a time. Not a whole lot, but maybe 3-4 at a time? To avoid overwhelming with stickies.
I want to be able to take every single post from a subreddit and post it in a new subreddit because orginal sub would ban you and remove any negative, mocking comments you make. So now people can freely mock and and provide proper negative feedback on the crossposted sub.
Hi, I run a large support group. I'm in need of a bot similar to one from r/advice where people can comment "Helped!" and the bot will find those comments and give a point to the previous commenter who left the helpful advice.
The goal is to identify (and encourage) helpful users with the community's "Helped!" posts, that we mods can flair with our newer flair system.
We will need to be able to see, on perhaps another page of some sort or within the bot's code, what users were flaired.
Is this possible?
Hello. We are looking for a bot to assist with interacting with members of the sub during posts. ( And possibly in the Sub Chat ).We would like it to respond to posts and comments, be able to scrape market data and news as well. Thanks in advance for the help.
