Hunt freelance leads and task posts on Reddit without an account: one Python script (stdlib only) queries the public Arctic Shift archive, filters by subreddit/title/time window, ranks your keywords to the top and saves a CSV.
WHAT YOU GET (ZIP, instant download)
reddit_intel.py - single readable script (~130 lines), no dependencies beyond Python 3.8+
- config.example.json - one JSON file: subreddit, title filter, hours back, keywords
- README.md - 3-step quick start, ready-made cron line, honesty notes
- tests/ - offline fixture so you can see ranked output before any network call
HOW IT WORKS
Queries the Arctic Shift public archive (free, read-only mirror of public Reddit posts) - no Reddit account, no API key, no token. Keyword hits weigh 2x, recency decays over 72h, results land in results.csv.
WHO IT IS FOR
Freelancers and lead-hunters watching r/slavelabour, r/forhire and similar boards who do not want another dashboard - just a script that drops ranked leads in a CSV twice a day.
HONESTY NOTE: the archive ingests new posts with a ~1-2 day delay - a research tool, not a real-time sniper. Reads public data only; it never posts, votes or messages. Follow each subreddit's rules before contacting anyone.
PRICING: $1 on purpose - collecting the first round of honest reviews. If it disappoints, roast it in the product Q&A; that is what the price is for.
DELIVERY: instant ZIP download right after payment (fully automated, works 24/7).
Support: message the store, replies within 24h.
