Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll harvest customer opinions about your company’s products from the comments left on the subreddit for your company, and store them in a database for future analysis. You’ll connect to the Reddit API, identify and clean up the data fields you need, and store the data into MongoDB.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
