reaper's Issues

Not a real issue - Tumblr hashtags

Hi,

My name is Joe Hatfield, and I am a graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder. First off, thank you so much for developing this tool; it has been a lifesaver for my research. Does the tool scrape for ALL hashtags included on individual Tumblr posts? In other words, is there a column(s) for additional hashtags included in a post other than the one used to scrape? My csv seems not to include that info, but I was wondering if perhaps I was missing it.

Many thanks,

Joe

Suggest how you collected exe

Hello, a little off topic, but tell me what you collected the sorts in exe?)

Youtube video comments cause application close

Inputting a youtube video-id into youtube function-2 results in an application exit

Leading and trailing white-spaces cause errors that are hard for users to debug

Leading and trailing white-spaces in authentication keys cause errors in Reaper that don't make sense to users, and many incompetent users require manual help from instructors to strip white-space.

404

I setup 3 keys following your guide; Twitter, FB and Pinterest.

When I try to scrape Pinterest or FB I get the following popup error.

"message": "404 Not Found: The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.",
"type": "http"
I tried resetting the Pinterest API key as per your instructions, same thing.

Twitter key works fine.
