 Authenticating Reddit Account:

  1. Create or log into account
  2. Ensure account is verified by going to account settings-email-verify
  3. Go to preferences (reddit.com)
  4. Create an App (personal use script for data collection needs)
Use the following script:

library(httr)

# Initialize parameters
client_id <- "Code under "personal use script" "
client_secret <- "next to secret"
user_agent <- "app name"
username <- "Account username"
password <- "Account Password"


# Get the access token
response <- POST(
  "https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token",
  authenticate(client_id, client_secret),
  body = list(
    grant_type = "password",
    username = username,
    password = password
  ),
  encode = "form",
  user_agent(user_agent)
)

# Extract the access token
token <- content(response)$access_token

# Use the token to make authenticated requests
header <- c(
  Authorization = paste("Bearer", token),
  `User-Agent` = user_agent
)

Now you have defined User Agent and Headers. Allowing you to have authenticated access to the Reddit API.

Mod 7 OOP

Daniel Tafmizi Dr. Friedman Lis 4370 Module 7 1. How do you tell what OO system (S3 vs. S4) an object is associated with? Using the function isS4() or isS3() on the object name will tell you which OO system the object was designed under.  2.  How do you determine the base type (like integer or list) of an object? There are a few useful functions for understanding the storage types of an object. typeof() for storage type, class() for structure type, mode() for data type. 3.What is a generic function? A  function that can be applied to different data and class types. A generic function will have many methods for differing data and class types and call them as needed.  4. What are the main differences between S3 and S4? Many differences lie in how operations are called in either class. These differences arise from the fact that S4 objects require explicit class, structure, and inheritance definitions, while S3 do not. I like S4 objects because they remind of classes in ...

Daniel Tafmizi Dr. Friedman Lis 4370 Module 10 Github:  daniel.R/Work.R/LIS4370Rprog/finalproject/DESCRIPTION at main · DanielDataGit/daniel.R     For my final project, I would like to incorporate the fellowship project. In it, I will determine the architecture of my fellowship project, as well as start to compile techniques for ML modelling and its respective visualizations. I plan to define techniques for supervised ML, broken down into classification and regression. I hope to make this as beginner friendly as possible, as I have had and continue to have my fair share of troubles dealing with the ML jargon found in professional sources. Overall, I hope to mimic the scikit-learn python library in a more R/beginner friendly way. If the fellowship project heads in a different direction, this project will still act as a great step in understanding how I can frame different elements for ML visualization.
