Connect Product Hunt and Reddit, create a rating script based on data from borh

Goal Create a script that fetches products from Product Hunt and then checks Reddit for activity around the products there. Then list these products, in order of popularity (with option to filter and resort). Sketch of solution The service should consist of the following components. Seeding generator Get a list of all products (=posts) from the [login to view URL] API, trailing as far back as possible ([login to view URL]). Data points to gather: According to what you deem necessary Reddit reviewer Search subreddits on Reddit for the names gathered from Product Hunt. The list of subreddits to search shall be configurable in a conf file. See below for more info. Data points to gather: According to what you deem necessary Rating engine Assign rating to each product according to rating algorithm below. Historical ratings should be stored, not overwritten. Important demands for the rate engine: All values need to be configurable. All calculations need to be configurable. We will do some try and error on these metrics so need to be able to change. Make these easily accessible, preferably in a separate config file. Storage To minimize the amount of api calls and increase speed, data from api calls should be stored. To enable historical analysis at a later stage (out of scope for this version) rating should be calculated and stored at daily intervals. Data only needs to be updated once daily. List generator The script shall list all products in order of rating. The user shall be able to change sort order to hotness or rating, see below. The user shall be able to filter by age (any time, past week, past month, past year). The list should display name of product, rating value, and hotness value. Sorting and filtering should be configurable on the command line. Rating algorithm Products are to be assigned three different ratings. Assign a rating (int) to each product according to: 1 Product Hunt vote = 1 point 1 Reddit post with name in title = 100 points 1 Reddit upvote on any post with name in title = 10 points 1 Reddit comment on any post with name in title = 50 points 1 Reddit comment with mention of name in it = 10 points Also assign a rating (int) to each product according to: (# of Product Hunt votes last week * 2) + (# of Reddit upvotes * 5) --> assign to a rating called "Hotness" Also assign one of the following values based on the specified criteria: If less than 200 points from Reddit then assign value “Innovators” If more than 200 points from Reddit then assign value “Early adopters” Important notes Put variables that one is likely to want to tweak in a separate conf file for easy access. This includes but is not limited to number of points to assign each parameter, and all calculations made above. Also the list of subreddits to search goes here. Build for future possibility of adding more reviewing sites beyond Reddit. Examples of future sites I may want to add for rating are Google Trends, Twitter, Instagram, custom sources.
