Crossref Event Data Reddit.com Links Agent

Crossref Event Data Reddit Links agent. Subscribes to a list of Subreddits and follows the links shared on them to see if those webpages have Events. Note that this is different from the Reddit agent.

Every 24 hours the Reddit agent ingests the subreddits Artifact and scans through each domain. Each domain, it scans through the API in order of newness, and continues until it's gathered 48 hours worth of data. This allows the agent to page through leisurely. This is packaged in upto an Evidence Package and sent to the Percolator. The Percolator takes care of excluding duplicate Actions.

To run

To run as an agent, lein run. To update the rules in Gnip, which should be one when the domain list artifact is updated, lein run update-rules.
