We spent days building a scraper for cryptocurrency mentions across Reddit in order
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>A little bit ago, a friend and I realized that a lot of what happens in crypto is driven by how people feel about a coin. The best way to get coin sentiment is monitoring Reddit - which is what many of us do here daily anyway. We figured if there was a way to aggregate that data and see how coins are trending (in terms of percent increase in mentions), we could try and find breakout coin growth.</p> <p>So we scraped the data and started using it to trade. The results were great - we realized that even more useful than the actual mention count, was reading the actual comments mentioning the coin. People have great DD / analysis in comments so taking a look into specific mentions can guide your decision on a coin. It is also super real time information as we sorted by most recent mention.</p> <p>Then we decided to make this data public so everyone can have access in the form of a website - <a href="https://memebergterminal.com/crypto?utm_source=rcmark&utm_medium=cryptocurrency">https://memebergterminal.com/crypto</a> (example coin page: <a href="https://www.memebergterminal.com/crypto/stock/Loopring/LRC?utm_source=rcmark&utm_medium=cryptocurrency">https://www.memebergterminal.com/crypto/stock/Loopring/LRC</a>)</p> <p>You can do two things with the site -</p> <ol> <li>See trending coin mentions split by each subreddit. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptocurrency/">r/cryptocurrency</a> is still the biggest and most useful. You can sort by percent mentions instead of new</li> <li>Ctrl + F for a coin to see the specific mentions about a coin. If you are on the edge of buying a coin, being able to easily search for the ticker and see what people are saying about it in real time can help you make a decision.</li> </ol> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/rithpath"> /u/rithpath </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qqfjgn/we_spent_days_building_a_scraper_for/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qqfjgn/we_spent_days_building_a_scraper_for/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
