Google BigQuery is a powerful tool to analyze large datasets such as Reddit data. To start, you need to first obtain the Reddit data. This can be done using Google BigQuery's public datasets. Once the data is obtained, you can use SQL to query the data and get the desired results.
For example, to get the top 10 subreddits with the most comments, you can run the following query:
SELECT subreddit, COUNT(*) as comment_count
FROM `fh-bigquery.reddit_comments.2017_11`
GROUP BY subreddit
ORDER BY comment_count DESC
LIMIT 10
This query will return the top 10 subreddits with the most comments in November 2017:
subreddit comment_count
AskReddit 93525
funny 71771
pics 63780
todayilearned 52480
worldnews 50606
gaming 49216
videos 39674
news 39003
gifs 37785
aww 37458
The query consists of the following parts:
-
SELECT
: This indicates which columns should be returned in the query. In this case, we are selecting thesubreddit
column and theCOUNT(*)
column which counts the number of comments for each subreddit. -
FROM
: This indicates which table the query should be run on. In this case, we are running the query on thefh-bigquery.reddit_comments.2017_11
table which contains all the Reddit comments from November 2017. -
GROUP BY
: This indicates which column should be used to group the data. In this case, we are grouping the data by thesubreddit
column. -
ORDER BY
: This indicates which column should be used to sort the data. In this case, we are sorting the data by thecomment_count
column in descending order. -
LIMIT
: This indicates how many rows should be returned in the query. In this case, we are returning the top 10 subreddits.
