AUTONOMOUS REDDIT BOT

Our project consists of a bot that autonomously replies to posts informing people about covid stats in a specified place.

The problem AUTONOMOUS REDDIT BOT solves

The global pandemic brought with it a massive surge in the number of active users at a point on most social media websites. Presently we are in a relatively safer state to travel and meet people. However, the pandemic hasn’t ended yet, and travel and tourism are something that’s supposed to be looked at with appropriate safety protocols at all times.
Our bot helps this case by letting the OP’s know the number of active covid-19 cases in their mentioned geographic location. This allows users to make a more active decision towards their travel locations while remembering to follow all necessary protocols.

Challenges we ran into

Our project made use of Reddit API and PRAW, we faced a few problems configuring the application initially. Later on, we found the integration of the 'six' module tricky as it integrates Python 2 and Python 3. We faced a minor issue of authentication of credentials using PRAW which was quickly rectified.
